In this video I am making another favorite dish of mine from Vietnam – Bún chả! It is from Hanoi, Vietnam. It consists of grilled pork (best grilled over charcoal) served in a broth with noodles and pickled vegetables and fresh herbs. It’s got several components but there’s so many ways you can eat it. One of things I love about Vietnamese food is how “communal” it can be – with everyone grabbing and tearing herbs, sharing a big bowl of noodles, passing around various sauces and condiments. All to create the perfect bite! It’s fun and delicious and very social. (It’s also fun and delicious to eat at home, by yourself, for you know – right now…) Below I will list the ingredients I use to make this. I have compiled this recipe from a cookbook I have and from my favorite YouTube Vietnamese food channel – Helen’s Recipes. I will link both of these below.
Enjoy the video!
