Vietnamese Noodle Bowls Recipe (Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio)

0 Marinate pork: Combine all ingredients listed under Lemongrass Pork. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to a day.
1 Make Nuoc Cham: Whisk all ingredients for Nuoc Cham. 
6 Bake spring rolls: Preheat oven and prepare spring rolls according to package directions. 
2 Cook rice noodles: Cook rice noodles according to package direction (most need to soak in very hot water until tender).
4 Heat a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering, use a slotted spoon transfer pork to heated oil (be careful - it will splatter when it hits the hot oil). Cook pork on one side until deep golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir pork and continue cooking until it is just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more. 
7 Chop baked spring rolls into bite-sized pieces. Use kitchen shears to chop up rice vermicelli into shorter lengths. 
5 Assemble bowls with a bed of lettuce topped with rice vermicelli. Arrange carrots, cucumbers, pork, spring rolls, peanuts, and fresh herbs on top. Serve Nuoc Cham on the side. (I like to toss all of the ingredients together in Nuoc Cham before digging in, but some people like to eat each component separate. It's great either way!)
