This is a refreshing classic noodle dish, which combines rice sticks, shredded lettuce, carrots and cucumbers dressed in nuoc cham (fish sauce, lemon juice, sugar, garlic and chilies) and topped with freshly torn mint. The pork is marinated, skewered and grilled, then set atop noodles for a quick, authentic, one-dish meal.
