How to Prepare

Step 1: Prepare the Banh Hoi: Soak Bich Chi Dried Banh Hoi in clean water according to the instructions on the package until the noodles become soft. Drain well. Next, you can quickly blanch the Banh Hoi in boiling water, then drain it thoroughly. This helps achieve the ideal soft and chewy texture. Before serving, place the Banh Hoi on a plate and drizzle with a little scallion oil to enhance its flavor and prevent the noodles from sticking together.
Step 2: Prepare the Grilled Pork Sausage: You can use ready-made Nem Nuong or prepare it at home. Grill the pork sausage over charcoal, on an electric grill, or in an air fryer until evenly golden brown and fragrant. Allow the Nem Nuong to cool slightly, then cut it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3: Prepare the Vegetables and Side Ingredients: Wash the fresh vegetables and herbs thoroughly and drain well. Slice the cucumber or cut it into thin sticks. The pickled vegetables add a refreshing sweet-and-sour taste that helps balance the rich and savory flavor of the grilled pork sausage. Crush the roasted peanuts into small pieces. Finely chop the spring onions and prepare scallion oil to add extra aroma and flavor to the dish.
Step 4: Prepare the Dipping Sauce: Combine fish sauce, sugar, and water in a bowl and stir well. Add lime juice or vinegar, followed by minced garlic and chili. Adjust the seasoning to create a dipping sauce with a well-balanced combination of salty, sweet, sour, and spicy flavors, according to your family's preference.
Step 5: Assemble and Enjoy: Arrange the Banh Hoi on a serving plate, then add the grilled pork sausage, fresh vegetables, cucumber, pickled vegetables, and roasted peanuts. Alternatively, serve each ingredient separately. Enjoy the Banh Hoi together with Nem Nuong and fresh vegetables, dipped in the flavorful sauce. If you prefer a fresh roll, place the Banh Hoi, grilled pork sausage, and vegetables on a sheet of rice paper, roll everything together, and dip it into your favorite sauce.
