Vietnamese Pork, Grilled

Fish sauce can be found in Asian markets. But to avoid purchasing a whole bottle when you only need 2 teaspoons for this Vietnamese pork, substitute a mixture of 1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste and 2 teaspoons dark soy sauce.

Ingredients

2 large shallots

2 tsp fish sauce

2 tsp soy sauce

2 Tbsp vegetable oil

2 Tbsp brown sugar

1 1/2 lb pork loin, sliced into 1/4-inch thick pieces

1 (5-ounce) can chow mein noodles

4 green onions, sliced

Directions

1. Mince shallots. Combine shallots, fish sauce, soy sauce, oil and brown sugar in a large bowl. Stir until sugar dissolves.

2. Add pork to bowl; turn to coat with sauce. Cover; refrigerate for 20 minutes.

3. Preheat grill or broiler. Grill pork until just done, about 5 minutes on each side.

4. Slice pork into strips. Place noodles on a serving plate. Arrange pork over noodles. Top with green onions.
