Vietnamese Grilled Pork

This dish of grilled pork accompanied by rice noodles is known in Vietnam as “Bun Cha.” We recommend brown rice noodles for their higher fiber content over white noodles. We like this lean meal because it’s quick to make. But of course – it’s no good unless it tastes good and this definitely fits the bill of GOOD. It has that heavenly beefy-chicken taste to it that only pork has!

The original recipe we adapted this from and above pictured ingredients are from Blue Apron.com, an e-commerce shop that delivers high-quality, pre-measured, fresh recipe ingredients to you. We don’t endorse/sponsor Blue Apron, or vice-versa but one of our team members subscribes to their service. She heard about it from her cousin and loves it! You’ll love this recipe, we’re sure of it!
