Grilled Pork with Rice Noodles and Vegetables
- 1 head green or red leaf lettuce split into single leaves.
- Rice noodles, soaked in hot water for about 20 minutes.
- 1 sliced or shredded carrot.
- 1 bunch mint leaves.
- Bean sprouts.
- Cilantro sprigs.
- 1 sliced cucumber.
- 1 large white radish, shredded (optional).
- ½ lb. pork, sliced thin, marinated.
- 2 tsp. garlic.
- 1 tsp. ginger, sliced.
- 4 tsp. lemon grass, chopped.
- Fish sauce for garnish.
- Crushed roasted peanuts.
The garlic, ginger and lemon grass can be put through a blender or food
processor with a little water to make the marinade. Marinate the sliced pork in
the garlic, ginger and lemon grass for about 1 hour before grilling. Grill the
pork to taste and arrange on a platter. Top with crushed peanuts. Arrange
lettuce leaves and other vegetables on the serving platter and serve at the
table.
Each person then takes a leaf of lettuce and fills it with noodles,
vegetables and meat, and then tops it with a little fish sauce. Roll the lettuce
leaf like a burrito and dig in! This is definitely finger food, and tasty to
boot.
