Bun Cha (Bún Chả)
Charcoal-grilled pork patties and belly served with rice vermicelli, fresh herbs, and a tangy dipping broth.
Why It Works
The sugar-heavy marinade caramelizes over charcoal, creating slightly burnt edges; dipping noodles and meat into the sweet-sour nuoc cham broth ties all components together.
