Method

1

Combine minced garlic, minced ginger, fish sauce, sugar, and rice vinegar in a mixing bowl.

2

Add pork pieces to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or up to 4 hours refrigerated.

3

Cook rice noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water, then set aside.

4

Slice cucumber, julienne carrot, and thinly slice red onion. Arrange vegetables on a serving platter with fresh mint and cilantro leaves.

5

Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove pork from marinade (reserve marinade) and grill for 4–5 minutes per side until cooked through and lightly charred, about 15–20 minutes total depending on piece size.

6

Divide cooked noodles among bowls. Top with grilled pork pieces and arrange cucumber, carrot, and red onion around the bowl.

7

Garnish with crushed peanuts and fresh herbs. Serve with lime wedges and nuoc cham dipping sauce on the side.
