From the ground meat, we form small meatballs, and we cut the bacon into slices.
Description
Vietnamese bun cha is a poetry of flavors from Hanoi - grilled meatballs and slices of pork belly in a sweet and sour nuoc cham sauce, served with rice vermicelli and a mountain of fresh herbs. The dish is interactive: you dip the noodles and meat in the sauce, adding herbs to your liking. The freshness of basil, mint, and cilantro contrasts with the smoky aroma of the grill. Light, refreshing, and addictive.

Serving
Serve bun cha in deep bowls to make it easier to dip the meatballs and noodles in the sauce. Garnish the dish with fresh herbs and serve with lime cut into wedges. It pairs perfectly with cold drinks, such as jasmine tea.
🥡
Storage
Store leftover bun cha in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can freeze them for up to 2 months. It's best to reheat the meatballs and pork belly in a pan, and steam the noodles to maintain their texture.

Czy można zamrozić to danie? Jeśli tak, to jak je później odgrzewać?
Zamiast zwykłej soli użyjcie soli morskiej - smak jest delikatniejszy.
Fantastyczne danie! Zrobiłam już 3 razy i za każdym razem wychodzi idealnie. Rodzina je uwielbia! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Można przygotować sos dzień wcześniej - smaki się przenikną i będzie jeszcze lepszy.
