I don’t often eat grilled pork with vermicelli sheets from street vendors, but I was craving it, so I bought some brown rice vermicelli sheets to try making it at home. Give it a try!

Steps

1

I bought these vermicelli sheets at the supermarket—they’re convenient and delicious.
2

These are dried vermicelli sheets in a package. Just bring water to a boil, add the sheets, cover, turn off the heat, and let them sit for about 1 1/2 minutes. Drain well. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the boiling water before cooking the sheets.
3

Rinse the pork belly thoroughly and pour boiling water over it.
4

Marinate with 1 teaspoon crushed coriander seeds, black pepper, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon seasoning powder. Since I made this for dinner, I prepped it in the morning and kept it in the fridge. (Before marinating, poke the pork with a skewer so the flavors absorb.)
5

Grill the pork over hot charcoal.
6

Once grilled, set aside.
7

Drizzle the vermicelli sheets with scallion oil.
8

Let the pork cool, then slice thinly. The skin will be crispy and fragrant. Make a sweet and tangy fish sauce with pickled carrot and lime juice. You can wrap the vermicelli sheets with pork and vegetables for a delicious meal.
