So many iterations of this in Vietnamese cooking. You should try the version using curried beef (thinly sliced beef, lots of minced garlic, etc., and marinate a bit before stir frying). My dad made it a lot growing up and we'd serve it with thinly sliced cucumber (like you'd see Thai women slicing for papaya salad), mint, cilantro, sliced lettuce, fresh roasted crushed peanuts, etc. Dump a ton of fish sauce on and you've got a delicious meal for the hotter months. The grilled lemongrass or chicken versions are great, too. Those versions are often served with a fried spring roll.
I am going to have to try this recipe. I started growing thai basil as I couldn't find it very often for another recipe that I made in the past. It so delicious and so different to sweet basil. Thank you for sharing this recipe. 🥰
So beautiful ❤ I'm heading back to Australia tomorrow from a brilliant stay at a yoga retreat in Phuket. The food has been amazing and the people so incredible. Can't wait to get back to cooking again.
Hi Marion.I had a Cambodian friends who makes the noddles salad but she use beef sticks not bbq.its taste so good. I am now using the fish sauce like the want you use it's better than the soy sauce.Thankyou for the recipes.Hello from Canada
Oh my gosh that looks delish! Thankfully here in the US I can find 80% lean pork in the Asian grocery store - adds so much more flavor than totally lean. This is going in my meal plan for next week! Thank you for your always yummy recipes.
I just bought a huge pork roast I’m grinding up tomorrow, because it’s best to grind your own fresh pork and I’m making this first thing, wonderful idea Marion, everything is ready from my garden and I’ll add some daikon radish also because I don’t have any cucumbers ready yet, Aloha from Hawaii
I would have never thought about using ground pork for this. Have on many occasions used pork rashers and they are also amazing, but do require me to turn on the oven and roast them (which is sometimes a stretch during the week). I will for sure be using this hack and making some Chinese BBQ pork patties! 😊
I made your barbecue pork with homemade sauce. It was delicious but too time consuming for me. This hack looks doable and I can’t wait to try this recipe!
I can’t wait to try this!!!! Pork is so much less expensive right now. Need more recipes as my husband isn’t fond of pork chops. Which char siu sauce do you use??? It looks very dark compared to the one we get in the USA (AH-SO) that is fluorescent pink (& super salty)! Bet this would work great with ground chicken too!!!! ❤❤❤
Well I just want to say as I settle into my 3 month work stint in Ho Chi Minh I was gutted I only had this thing called RU-vid CHANNEL. I mean, what IS that? But, restricted to only that, I realised there you were, and I can watch the latest recipes and vids, and well, salivate. Thanks for the insights, the advice, and giving me the bravery to throw caution to the wind and order that bowl of unidentifiable goodness while I am here. From a Mooloolabalian to now a Ho Chi Minher, keep it up, and thanks for the burps and giggles.
