Lemongrass Pork Vermicelli Noodle Salad
  1. Heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add oil, lemongrass, and shallot, cooking for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.

  2. Add garlic and ginger, cooking for another 30 seconds.

  3. Stir in the pork mince and cook for 4–5 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks, until no longer pink.

  4. Add the sugar, bouillon powder, black pepper, fish sauce, and salt. Cook for another 2 minutes until the pork begins to caramelize.

  5. In a bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water.

  6. Stir in the juice of 1 lime, most of the fish sauce, garlic, and chilies.

  7. Taste and adjust with more lime juice or fish sauce until balanced—it should be sweet, sour, salty, and have a kick of heat. Set aside.

  8. Layer the salad ingredients in a bowl, top with the caramelized lemongrass pork, and drizzle with nuoc cham sauce.

  9. Garnish with fried shallots if using and enjoy.
