@itsangusnguyen: BÚN CHẢ HÀ NỘI 🇻🇳 (our family recipe) Smoky, caramelized pork + that sweet-salty fish sauce broth…this is how I cook it for my mom! Serves ~3–4 ⸻ 🥩 For the chả (grilled pork patties) * 1 lb ground pork * 3 cloves garlic, minced * 2 shallots, minced * 2 green onions, finely chopped * 1 tbsp fish sauce * 1 tbsp oyster sauce * 2 tbsp sugar * 1 tsp chicken bouillon * 1 tsp five spice powder 👉 Mix everything together until slightly tacky 👉 Form into small, thin patties (they shrink) ⸻ 🥓 For the pork belly * 1 lb pork belly, thinly sliced (about 0.5 cm thick) * 3 cloves garlic, minced * 2 shallots, minced * 2 green onions, finely chopped * 1 tbsp fish sauce * 1 tbsp oyster sauce * 2 tbsp sugar * 1 tsp chicken bouillon * 1 tsp five spice powder 👉 Toss everything together and marinate at least 3–4 hours (overnight = elite) ⸻ 🔥 Grill Charcoal if you can (that Hanoi street flavor), but oven broil or air fryer works if that’s all you have. 👉 Grill patties + pork belly until deeply caramelized with light char 👉 Flip regularly because fatty meats means lots of fire - easy to burn. ⸻ 🥣 Fish sauce broth (the soul) * ½ cup warm water * 3–4 tbsp fish sauce * 2–3 tbsp sugar * 1–2 tbsp lime juice or vinegar * Garlic + chili to taste 👉 Stir until sugar dissolves 👉 Balance should be sweet, salty, tangy ⸻ 🥕 Do chua* (pickled carrot & papaya — separate tutorial coming) ⸻ 🍜 To serve * Cooked bún (rinsed with cold water & drained well) * Fresh lettuce * Herbs (mint, cilantro, perilla if you have it) * Sliced cucumber * Do chua* (pickled payaya and carrots) * Grilled pork patties + pork belly ⸻ 🥢 Assembly (Hanoi style) In a bowl: 👉 Add ladles of fish sauce broth 👉 Add do chua 👉 Add grilled meats Serve noodles + herbs on the side and dip as you eat (not poured over 👀) #buncha #vietnamesefood #vietnamese #vietnameserecipe #bunchahanoi
