Ingredients

Rice Vermicelli1 package thin

Egg Rolls4-6

Challots3 tablespoons minced

Garlic1.5 tablespoons minced garlic

Sugar¼ cup

Fish Sauce1 tablespoon

Soy sauce½ tablespoon thick

Pepper½ tablespoon

Olive Oil3 tablespoons

CucumberSliced

PeanutsCrushed

Instructions

Step 1: Slice the uncooked pork thinly, about ⅛". It helps to slightly freeze it (optional).

Step 2: Mince garlic and shallots. Mix in a bowl with sugar, fish sauce, thick soy sauce, pepper, and oil until sugar dissolves.

Step 3: Marinate the meat for 1 hour, or overnight for better results.

Step 4: Bake the pork at 375F for 10-15 minutes or until about 80% cooked. Finish cooking by broiling in the oven until a nice golden brown color develops, flipping the pieces midway.

Step 5: Assemble your bowl with veggies, noodles, and garnish. Many like to mix the whole bowl up and pour the fish sauce on top, but I like to make individual bites and sauce it slowly.
