Vietnamese Ground Pork Rice Noodle Bowl

  1. Bring a large pot filled 2/3 with water to a boil while prepping the vegetables, bringing it back to a boil just before cooking the noodles.
  2. Prep all of the vegetables. Set aside.
  3. Combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Whisk to dissolve brown sugar. Add water and cornstarch. Whisk until cornstarch is smooth and incorporated. Set aside.
  4. Preheat a large skillet on medium high heat. Add oil. Add ground pork. Cook 1 minute, using a spatula to break pork into chunks. Add lemongrass, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Continue cooking and breaking up pork until the meat is cooked through, about 6 minutes.
  5. Add sauce, stirring to incorporate into the pork mixture. Sauce will thicken slightly. Cook for 1 minute, reducing heat to medium when sauce boils. Remove from heat.
  6. Add rice vermicelli to boiling water, stirring gently to separate. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Noodles are done when they are tender but maintain body. Do not overcook as noodles will turn mushy quickly. Drain.
  7. To serve, place some noodles in a large bowl. Top with 1/4 of pork mixture. Add some cucumber, carrots, cilantro, or other vegetable condiments of choice.
