About This Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Slice the uncooked pork thinly, about ⅛".

2. 2

   It helps to slightly freeze it (optional).

3. 3

   Mince garlic and shallots.

4. 4

   Mix in a bowl with sugar, fish sauce, thick soy sauce, pepper, and oil until sugar dissolves.

5. 5

   Marinate the meat for 1 hour, or overnight for better results.

6. 6

   Bake the pork at 375F for 10-15 minutes or until about 80% cooked.

7. 7

   Finish cooking by broiling in the oven until a nice golden brown color develops, flipping the pieces midway.

8. 8

   Assemble your bowl with veggies, noodles, and garnish.

9. 9

   Many like to mix the whole bowl up and pour the fish sauce on top, but I like to make individual bites and sauce it slowly.
