    I have always liked the Vietnamese BBQ pork sandwiches in Houston area. I just couldn't find out how they make the meat.I'm so glad I find this recipe. I used the marinate from this recipe to make the BBQ pork for my sandwich. The flavor is just awesome,it tastes just like the ones in the restaurant.

    This is one of my favorite recipes. I have made it many times and it is always so delish. I serve it with lettece and rice noodles and roll it in rice papers to make spring rolls. My family loves it,

    I love this recipe - it wasn't difficult and the flavor was authentic.

    I ended up not using the skewers (basically because I'm too lazy to do all that skewering. I just laid the thinly sliced pork directly on the grill. The pieces cooked quickly and got a nice dark char.

    I also found that a good substitue for making the nuoc nam from scratch is to buy the Nam PLoy brand of Thai Chili GArlic sauce (it's sweet, and then just thin it with water. It's a time-saver but still tastes pretty good.

    I grabbed some Thai basil and mint from the garden, and sprinkled that on top also.

    Perfect balance of salt and sweet. I agree that a short marinade is better. I skipped the noodles and served the pork with a bowl of chopped grilled scallions, crushed peanuts and lettuce leaves for wrapping. Dipping sauce and rice on the side. Very very good.

    My friends and family adore this recipe. It's simple and healthy. I recommend marinating overnight, but an hour or two will suffice in a pinch. It's sweet, salty, sour flavor balance is perfect. It's become a standard in our dinner rotation.

    Don't leave marinating overnight..unless you are using thick cuts of meat; thinner sliced meat was overmarinated and a little too salty.

    Not fishy at all for any hesitant re: amount of fish sauce in the marinade...

    Also, the dipping sauce would be excellent with some crispy spring rolls...

    this has become a classic in our house- i know have the butcher slice my meat on setting #3 and i marinade it in vac food bags in the freezer- 25 slcies will feed our family 1 meal! once you make it-it becomes a 30 min or less meal- fast and easy!
