Instruction

  • Slice the uncooked pork thinly, about ⅛"
  • It helps to slightly freeze it (optional)
  • Mince garlic and shallots
  • Mix in a bowl with sugar, fish sauce, thick soy sauce, pepper, and oil until sugar dissolves
  • Marinate the meat for 1 hour, or overnight for better results
  • Bake the pork at 375F for 10-15 minutes or until about 80% cooked
  • Finish cooking by broiling in the oven until a nice golden brown color develops, flipping the pieces midway
  • Assemble your bowl with veggies, noodles, and garnish
  • 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
