So it was super hot today, which is crazy considering it was supposed to rain this past weekend.  Weather is weird. So since it was hot, I decided to make a fresher and cooler meal today.  I opted to make Vietnamese Vermicelli noodles with grilled pork, which is pretty easy to make.  I have made this particular dish before and I got the recipe awhile ago from here.

Ingredients:

• Pork butt
• Fish sauce
• Lettuce
• Cilantro
• Carrots
• Cucumber
• Garlic
• Lemon
• Pepper
• Sugar
• Chili Sauce

Recipe:

• Mix 5 tbsp fish sauce, 4 tbsp sugar, a lot of garlic, and pepper (I guesstimated how much fish sauce and sugar)
• Let it marinate for ~30min+
• Grill the pork (I used a pan because I don’t have a grill, and it still came out well)
• Cook the vermicelli noodles
• Shred the lettuce
• Julienne the carrots
• Chop the cucumber
• Chop green onions and cilantro
• Assemble your meal

Sauce:

• 1/2 cup of water
• 1/3 cup of fish sauce
• Juice of a lemon
• 1/4 cup sugar
• Minced garlic
• Small amount of Chili paste
• Mix, add to the final dish, and enjoy!
