Рецепт Bun Cha
When I see Bún chả I always remember the episode of Parts Unknown when Anthony Bourdain and Barack Obama dined in a small restaurant in Vietnam to have this dish. It must be a really special dish especially when you want to serve it to one of the most powerful person in the world. Bún chả is a Vietnamese dish of grilled fatty pork, pork meatballs and vermicelli rice noodles served with raw green leafy vegetables and papaya pickles. The moment this food is made up until it is served is a delight to one’s senses, imagine the aroma of pork meat grilling over charcoals and the smell of the dipping sauce as well as the pickled vegetables together with the different textures of the fresh green vegetables and slimy rice vermicelli, it is one of those dishes with a huge array of texture, flavour and colour in one bowl.Bún chả is a lunchtime-only dish and it is very popular in Hanoi and highly possibly its place of origin but unlike its other popular dishes like bánh cuốn, chả cá and phở the origins of Bún chả seems to be a mystery, undocumented and unknown.Bun Cha Save PrintPrep time Cook time Total time Serves: 4IngredientsGrilled Pork400 g pork shoulder or pork belly4 cloves garlic, minced3 shallots minced1 tsp soy sauce2 tsp sugar1 tsp fish saucesaltfreshly ground black pepperGrilled Meatballs400 g minced pork, 30% fat4 cloves garlic, minced2 pcs spring onions, finely chopped1 tsp soy sauce2 tsp sugar1 tsp fish saucesaltfreshly ground black pepperPickled Carrot and Papaya1 carrot, shredded½ small green papaya, shredded½ cup cane vinegar½ cup white sugar½ cup waterDipping Broth3 cups pork broth6 tbsp fish sauce6 tbsp sugar4 tbsp cane vinegarNoodles500 g rice vermicelli, cooked according to packet instructions and served on room temperaturecos lettucespinachThai basilcorianderInstructionsGrilled PorkIn a bowl combine all Grilled Pork ingredients except for the pork, mix well.Add the pork and let it marinate for an hour.Grill pork over prepared charcoal until cooked and lightly charred.Slice into small bite sized pieces then set aside.Grilled MeatballsIn a bowl mix using your hand all Grilled Meatball ingredients.Form into small sized meatballs.Grill meatballs over prepared charcoal until cooked and lightly charred.Set aidePickled Carrot and PapayaCombine vinegar, sugar and water, mix well until sugar dissolves.Add the carrots and papaya, submerge everything in the pickling liquid.
