Larry · CC BY-SA 2.0

Charcoal-grilled pork, fragrant and smoky, dipped in a sweet-and-sour fish sauce with rice noodles and fresh herbs.

A classic Hanoi lunch. Minced pork patties and pork belly are grilled over charcoal, then dropped into fish sauce brightened with vinegar, chili and green papaya — humble yet unforgettable, enough to lure President Obama for a bowl.

Flavour: Charcoal smoke, balanced sweet and sour
