4. Grilled vermicelli with grilled pork:

Ingredient:

- 800g pork belly (about 70,000 VND).

- One kilogram of cucumber (about 10,000 VND)

- Half a carrot + some herbs (about 10,000 VND)

- Spices include fish sauce, pepper, sugar, garlic, shallots...

Making:

- Wash the pork belly, cut it into bite-sized pieces. If you have small children, you can add some minced soft shoulder meat to make meatballs. Marinate the meat with crushed and minced shallots and a little fish sauce, MSG, and pepper. Season moderately because you will also eat it with dipping sauce. After marinating the meat for 30 minutes to an hour, put the meat on a baking tray or skewer and grill over charcoal or in the oven until golden brown and fragrant.

- Pick the tops of the herbs and wash them. Wash the cucumbers, peel them, split them lengthwise or slice them to make sweet and sour sauce depending on your family's preference.

- Make the dipping sauce: Carve the carrots into flowers, thinly slice them, crush and mince the garlic, cut the chili into thin strips and put them in a small bowl, pour in a little vinegar and soak. In another bowl, mix the sugar water with hot water (with a strong sweet taste), then add fish sauce to taste. If you are experienced, you can tell how salty or bland the dipping sauce is by looking at the dark or light color. Pour in the garlic and chili soaked in vinegar and add a little lemon juice to get the right amount of sour, spicy, salty and sweet. This method helps the garlic and chili float on top of the dipping sauce, creating a beautiful color.

- Arrange noodles, spring rolls, and dipping sauce on a tray and serve hot.
