How to Make: Traditional Bun Cha Hanoi / Northern Vietnamese Grilled Pork Meatballs with Vermicelli

#Vietnamese dishes #Buncha #Hanoi
Traditionally, bun cha is made with two types of pork: savory grilled meatballs and thinly sliced pork belly, both marinated and charred over open flames. The grilled meat is served in a bowl of warm, tangy-sweet fish sauce broth, often topped with slivers of garlic and Thai chili for an added kick. On the side, you’ll find a generous portion of bun (rice vermicelli), pickled vegetables like green papaya and carrot, and a mountain of fresh herbs—lettuce, mint, cilantro, and Thai basil.
