Bun Thit Nuong (Grilled Pork with Vermicelli

Post on : 31 July, 2025

This dish combines smoky grilled pork with fresh vermicelli noodles, herbs, pickled veggies, peanuts, and sweet fish sauce. The contrast of textures and flavors—savory, sweet, fresh, and crunchy—makes it utterly irresistible.

Bun Thit Nuong is a favorite in Saigon – a dry noodle dish that combines grilled meats, fresh vegetables, and rice vermicelli. It’s light yet filling, and bursting with Vietnamese flavor.

Tender grilled pork is served over a bed of cool vermicelli noodles, with fresh herbs, pickled carrots and daikon, roasted peanuts, and crispy fried shallots. It’s finished with a generous pour of nuoc mam (fish sauce) dressing – sweet, sour, salty, and savory.

No two bites are the same – one may be fresh and herby, the next smoky and nutty. You mix everything together in the bowl for a layered, satisfying meal. It’s fast, inexpensive, and available almost everywhere – a must-try!
