Yen,
I adjusted the salt and fish sauce a while back so you can go with what's listed here. But as always, feel free to adjust to suit your tastebuds.

Hi, thanks for sharing all teh wonderful recipes. I am planning to make this soon and wondering if you had already made the adjustments to the salt level mentioned above or should I do that on my own? Thanks!

Don,
Thanks for pointing it out. This is an old recipe and I'd reduce the salt and fish sauce quite a bit compared to how I write my recipe now. Will fix that.

I always wondered how the pork was made! Soooo easy. I made this last night for my wife and myself. I followed the instruction but doubling it. I found it good but very salty. I did do the pan sear or rather in wok with little or no marinade time. In my humble opinion I would half or quarter the salt for this recipe if you decide to pan sear it. I finished off the dish with fresh bun from the

PP,
Thanks for the reminder. I still haven't done a grilled beef recipe yet. It's a super easy recipe to make at home.

I just had a nice bowl of Bun with Sugarcane shrimps, grilled beef, fried spring rolls, grilled beef balls and grilled prawns for lunch. I was torn between the Bun and Pho, my all time favourite. I think i should try making this at home.

Mary,
I don't have any preferred brand, I just buy what's cheap. My trick for getting the noodles to not stick together is to upend a rice bowl into the bottom of the colander to reduce surface area. Look at either my pho bo or pho ga recipes for pictures of what I'm talking about.

I remember living in the dorms and desperately wanting VNese food...

2008-02-04T09:42:00.000-08:00

Thanks for the recipe! I always get this at Vietnamese places, but now I can make it at home! My mom tried making this once, but the vermicelli clumped together. Which brand/type of vermicelli should that doesn't stick? Am looking forward to trying your Vietnamese recipes when I have access to a proper kitchen. Dorms don't offer much.

Jeannie,It's a me-sized portion. :)

Hehe, is it me or is that portion mighty small? I feel like I could eat way more than that! Nice presentation though!

Peter,
Thanks! So how much are you willing to pay? ;)

Jaded,
What? And not order pho? :P

Bill,
Thank you.

Amy,
I actually prefer stove top to concentrate the flavors. :)

Daphne,
Thanks.

Dhanggit,
Aww, your compliment was too nice. Too bad there's no such thing as scratch and sniff over the internet.

Nikki,

I have made your thit kho recipe several times since last year and your new photo looks great! What camera did you get?

And as for bun tom etc., that's one of my favorites to order at VN restaurant that I don't know well -- seems like most do it well :-) I like your grilled pork recipe - will try it broiled.

I'm absolutely crazy about the grilled pork with fried roll and noodles. I get it just about everytime I go to a pho restaurant. Thanks for the recipe! I'll make this for when the weather's warmer.
