  2. Use your hands to shape the pork mince into small, round and thin cakes.
  3. Place both the pork mince and pork belly on a BBQ basket for grilling (about 5 minutes each side).
  4. Cook the vermicelli in boiling water until it becomes soft, drain then rinse under cold running water, so it doesn’t stick together.

  6. Mix all the nuoc mam ingredients and warm it up to 50°C to serve.
