Ingredients

  • 2 lb boneless pork butt cut into 1/4 inch thick slices
  • 1/4 cup minced lemongrass
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon sugar divided
  • 3 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons ground black pepper
  • 5 shallots peeled and minced
  • 3 cloves garlic peeled and minced
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 cucumber thinly sliced
  • 3-4 carrots thinly sliced
  • 1/2 head red cabbage thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 1 package rice paper wrappers

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl whisk together lemongrass, 1/4 cup sugar, fish sauce, pepper, shallots, garlic, sesame oil and soy sauce. Add pork and toss to coat. Marinade 1-2 hours or overnight.
  2. Heat grill to medium high heat. Grill pork until cooked through and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk together rice vinegar, remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, and salt. Add vegetables and allow to soak while meat cooks.
  4. Prepare rice paper wrappers by soaking in warm water, one at a time, for 30-45 seconds until pliable. Pile each wrapper with pork, pickled vegetables, and a few sprigs of cilantro. Roll up and serve with Sriracha sauce. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
