  3. 3 Mix sweet and sour fish sauce with minced garlic and chili, then add shredded carrots marinated in vinegar.

  5. 5 Place the grilled meat on top, sprinkle with crushed roasted peanuts, and then pour the sweet and sour fish sauce over it.

With an appliance

  • Oven 42 min

    Replace step 2: spread the meat on the racks in the oven at 230 degrees for 9 minutes and rotate the tray after 5 minutes; the meat will cook evenly, requiring less turning, but the bowl of vermicelli will lack the smoky flavor.
