Method

  1. 1 Boil pork belly with salt and dried onions for 30 minutes, let it cool, then slice it thinly.
  2. 2 Lightly grill the rice paper until slightly firm, then leave it in a humid place overnight to allow it to soften and become pliable without tearing.
  3. 3 Slice green bananas and cucumbers thinly and soak them in diluted lemon juice to prevent browning.
  4. 4 Mix sweet and sour fish sauce with chopped garlic and chili peppers.
  5. 5 Wrap boiled meat, herbs, green banana, and cucumber in rice paper and dip in fish sauce.
