Vietnamese Grilled Pork (bun-thit-nuong)

Instructions

1- Slice the uncooked pork thinly, about ⅛".

2- It helps to slightly freeze it (optional).

3- Mince garlic and shallots.

4- Mix in a bowl with sugar, fish sauce, thick soy sauce, pepper, and oil until sugar dissolves.

5- Marinate the meat for 1 hour, or overnight for better results.

6- Bake the pork at 375F for 10-15 minutes or until about 80% cooked.

7- Finish cooking by broiling in the oven until a nice golden brown color develops, flipping the pieces midway.

8- Assemble your bowl with veggies, noodles, and garnish.

9- 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.
