Total Time:

2:15

Ingredients:

1 lb. pork with medium fat (thin-sliced pork butt, fast-fry chops, etc.)

Marinade:
2 stalks lemongrass, outer layers and ends removed
1 piece 1-inch ginger, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3 tbsp. good fish sauce (a Viet brand if you can find one)
Juice of 2 limes
3 tbsp. white sugar or palm sugar

Nuoc Cham Dipping Sauce:
3 tbsp. fish sauce
Juice of 2 limes
1 tbsp. sugar
Shredded carrots and chilis

Directions:

Combine all marinade ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

Pour marinade over meat in non-reactive container and marinate for at least 1.5 hours - up to overnight.

Mix nuoc cham ingredients until sugar is dissolved. Set aside and refrigerate.

Preheat grill or broiler. Grill meat until cooked. Careful that it doesn't burn as there is a lot of sugar. Use a charcoal fire for that streetside authentic flavour.

Serve on rice (com), rice vermicelli (bun) or a french roll (banh mi) with nuoc cham on side. Add some raw veggies like lettuce, pickled daikon and carrots, cilantro, chilis.

Sriracha/tuong ot/sambal oelek chili sauce also delicious with this.

Comments from deliciousdiet :

Vietnamese street food. This recipe is cheap, easy and f***in delicious. Can be served on a bun or with bun (rice vermicelli), or just eaten by itself. Works best with skewers or thin chops.

This recipe also works with beef, chicken and prawns. (Haven't tried other traditional Viet meats such as rats, cats or dog)
