Change up your meal with roasted pork rice noodles!

Rice vermicelli with roasted pork is a familiar dish to people in Southern Vietnam. This dish is made from rice flour and has an elaborate and meticulous preparation process. Rice vermicelli is usually eaten with fried shallots, roasted pork, grilled pork, etc. It is an indispensable dish during festivals, ancestral worship ceremonies, weddings, and religious ceremonies at temples and pagodas, and is a distinctive part of the local culinary culture.

Ingredient:

- Pork belly with ribs removed

- Banh hoi (rice noodles)

- Red onions, garlic, chili peppers, scallions, fresh vegetables, cucumber, radish, carrots, peanuts, bean sprouts, lemon.

- Seasonings: Sugar, cooking oil, fish sauce, salt

Making:

- Wash the pork belly thoroughly with salt and vinegar, then drain. Use a knife to make numerous small cuts on the pork skin. Line the pork with aluminum foil and sprinkle coarse salt over the skin. Place in a steamer, set the temperature to 200 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes, then remove the salt and set the temperature to 200 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes to get a crispy, golden-brown roasted pork belly.

- Wash and drain the scallions, fresh herbs, cucumber, and bean sprouts. Chop the scallions finely, thinly slice the shallots and fry until golden brown. Pour the hot oil over the scallions to make a scallion oil. Slice the cucumber into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a platter. Place the fresh herbs and bean sprouts on a plate.

- Peel and wash the radishes and carrots, then shred them. Soak them in vinegar, sugar, and salt for 15 minutes, then squeeze out the excess water. The pickled vegetables will help to balance the richness of the dish.

- We put the rice vermicelli in a steamer and steam it for 5 minutes until it's hot. Then we spread each vermicelli sheet, add some scallion oil, roll it up, and arrange it on a tray.

- The best part is the dipping sauce, a sweet and sour fish sauce with plenty of finely chopped garlic and chili, sugar and lime, plus pickled carrots and radishes – absolutely delicious.

Arrange the rice noodles and roasted pork in a bamboo tray, sprinkle with peanuts and fried onions, and serve with sweet and sour fish sauce and fresh vegetables.
