Grilled Pork and Rice Vermicelli (Bún thịt nướng)

This Vietnamese dish combines marinated grilled pork, rice vermicelli noodles, and fresh leafy green vegetables and herbs. The ingredients are usually placed in a bowl and are then combined with nước chấm – a fish sauce that is typically enriched with lime or lemon juice, water, and sugar.

Bún thịt nướng is usually associated with Southern Vietnam, and it is closely related to bún chả, which is regarded as a local specialty in Hanoi. Apart from its basic form, the dish has several regional varieties that may employ tofu or other types of meat and seafood.
