Vietnamese pork noodle bowls (bun thit nuong)

Recipe video above. Popular Vietnamese street food! Fabulous combination of contrasting flavours and textures, fresh vegetables with flavourful lemongrass marinated pork, noodles and herbs, all doused in a mild nuoc cham sauce (so you can use lots).Light and fresh yet anything but dull. Excellent DIY spread for gatherings - lay it all out on tables and let everyone put their own bowls together. Chicken version here. Slightly different toppings because chicken is a white meat, pork is richer.:)
