Hanoi Bún Chả (Vietnamese Pork Meatballs and Vermicelli) - The Tipsy Cookery

Bun Cha is a very famous dish eaten in the streets of Hanoi. This dish consists of pork meatballs grilled (in my case, pan fried) to perfection, served with a ton of fresh herbs, rice noodles, pickled vegetables and dipped in the most flavour packed Nuoc Cham sauce.
Nuoc Cham is essential in this dish; it gives a nice balance of savoury, sweet and sour element - a flavour combination that is very common in Vietnamese cuisine.
Traditionally, the pork meatballs are cooked on a charcoal grill, but you may find that tricky at home. Therefore, my rendition of the Bun Cha is made by pan frying it on a non-stick pan. The sugar in the meatballs creates a nice caramelized and charred surface resembling the char flavour you would find in a charcoal grill.
This mouthwatering dish is a MUST TRY!

[@borntodoit8744]

Great receipe.If the water in bowl is the soup of dish
Q - Should the water be hot boiling water?
If no - is dish meant to be cold drinking soup with cold meatballs.

[@thetipsycookery8268]

Great question! The water doesn't need to be boiling, just warm enough to dissolve the sugar. I actually like to eat mine with the dipping sauce quite cold. (By the way it's a dipping sauce, not meant to drink😅)

[@christina3151]

This is delicious 🤤 Thank you. Please also see The Old Path on TH-cam 🥰

Can I use beef instead of pork? Is there a difference?

[@thetipsycookery8268]

Great question! I think ground pork has more fat content, so the patties will come out looser and more moist. Beef could work too, but I think it'll be more dense and the flavor will be different.
