- Slice pork loin into thin pieces and lightly pound each slice to improve tenderness.
- Mix minced shallots, garlic, lemongrass, fish sauce, sugar, bouillon powder, salt, sesame oil, and black pepper into the pork. Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours.
- Prepare the vegetables by washing lettuce, herbs, bean sprouts, and cucumber. Set aside for assembly.
- Make nước chấm by mixing fish sauce, sugar, warm water, lime juice, minced garlic, and chili until balanced.
- Cook fresh rice vermicelli briefly according to package instructions, then drain and rinse under cold water to prevent clumping.
- Grill marinated pork over medium-high heat until caramelized and fully cooked, turning frequently for even browning.
- Place rice vermicelli into serving bowls and arrange lettuce, herbs, bean sprouts, and cucumber around the noodles.
- Add grilled pork on top and pour nước chấm over the bowl before serving.
Notes
Marinate pork overnight for deeper lemongrass and fish sauce flavor. Keep noodles, grilled pork, vegetables, and dressing separate until serving to maintain texture. Charcoal grilling creates the most authentic smoky flavor, but a grill pan or oven can also be used. Rinse cooked noodles under cold water to remove excess starch and prevent sticking.
