1 tablespoon light muscovado sugar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 garlic clove (chopped)
1 shallot (chopped)
2 teaspoons palm sugar (or golden caster sugar)
1 teaspoon salt
500 g boneless pork, lion (minced)
250 g rice noodles (cooked)
125 g bean sprouts

Steps:

Gently melt the light muscovado sugar with two-thirds of the fish sauce in a heavy based saucepan, stirring all the time.
Allow to cool a little then transfer it to a bowl and combine it with the garlic, shallot, palm or caster sugar, the remaining fish sauce and salt.
Add the minced pork, mix thoroughly, then cover and leave to stand for 3 hours.
Shape the minced pork into 20-24 flat little patties, about 1 inch in diameter, place them under a preheated grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until cooked through. The patties are also very good cooked on the barbecue.
To serve, divide the noodles between 4 warmed bowls, add the pork, torn lettuce leaves, bean sprouts and herbs.

Bun Cha - Grilled Vietnamese Pork Skewered Recipe image

Provided by Iron Woman

Time 1h25m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
3 garlic cloves (peeled and minced)
2 scallions (chopped)
2 teaspoons oyster sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 lb pork, thinly sliced
16 bamboo skewers

Steps:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the honey, hoisin sauce, fish sauce, garlic, spring onions, oyster sauce, salt and pepper, mixing well.
Add the pork, coating the slices well. Cover and marinate for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, start the barbecue fire. Soak the bamboo skewers.
When ready to eat, thread the meat strips on the skewers.
Don't be tempted to overload the skewers; skewers which are too generous will char on the outside by the time the inside is cooked.
Grill over medium-hot coals for 3 to 4 minutes, brushing the meat with the marinate.
When browned and cooked, remove from the fire and serve.
