Thịt Nướng (Vietnamese BBQ Pork)

Thịt Nướng Vietnamese BBQ Pork is used on top of Bun Thịt Nướng (Vietnamese BBQ Pork Cold Noodle Salad) and in other Vietnamese dishes.

Thịt Nướng Vietnamese BBQ Pork

Thịt Nướng Vietnamese BBQ Pork

One of my favorite Vietnamese meals is Bun Thịt Nướng (Vietnamese BBQ Pork Cold Noodle Salad).  I absolutely love the cold rice noodle salad. I used to eat it about three times a week at my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Los Angeles, called Pho No. 1.

When I moved away, I was determined to learn how to make the dish myself.

After trying several recipes I found on line, I was able to combine ingredients to achieve the taste that I had remembered for this Thịt Nướng Vietnamese BBQ Pork. Oh my gosh, this is so good, but, plan a head, the Thịt Nướng (BBQ pork) tastes much better if marinated overnight.

My favorite brand of fish sauce is Three Crabs Fish Sauce, which is sold in Asian markets. You will also need Sweet/Black Soy Sauce, or you can make your own Nuoc Mau Caramel Sauce. Whiz all the ingredients up in a Vitamix or other blender until well combined and then place in a container or heavy duty storage bag and add in the meat.

Put the Thịt Nướng Vietnamese BBQ Pork with the marinade into the refrigerator and allow to marinade overnight. You will want to make your Nuoc Cham (Vietnamese Dipping Sauce) at the same time and also refrigerate overnight. The next day, grill the meat over hot coals until cooked and a bit charred.
