nooooodles with sticky pork - thanks Luke!

I have drooled over Luke Nguyen's meals on his tv show far too many times. My first dish of his was beautiful.
As usual I found it hard to follow his recipe so I made a few changes of my own. I switched pork neck for pork loin with crackling on it and I could not get perilla, so I substituted coriander. Apart from that it was pretty close to the recipe.
Delicious. The pork cooks up with a wonderful caramel crispy outside and nice and tender inside.

500g pork loin, chopped into chunks

Marinade

6 white part spring onion, finely sliced

2 tbsp sugar

1 tbsp honey

4 tbsp fish sauce

1 tsp freshly ground pepper

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

2 tbsp vegetable oil

Salad

250g rice vermicelli noodles - cooked as per packet directions

small handful mint leaves, finely sliced

small handful coriander, finely sliced

1 lebanese cucumber, halved, de-seeded, finely sliced

2 handfuls bean sprouts

1 carrot, grated

4 tbsp crushed roasted peanuts

4 tbsp spring onion oil - I just used regular oil

4 tbsp fried red Asian shallots (you can buy these ready fried, or just fry up some shallots in vegetable oil until crisp, then drain well on a paper towel)

1/2 cup dipping fish sauce

In a large bowl mix the pork with the marinade ingredients. Coat well. Marinate for 2 hours or overnight.

Char grill the pork for 1-2 minutes on each side or until brown and cooked.

Pile bowls with noodles and salad ingredients. Dress with a mixture of fish sauce and oil. Top with pork then sprinkle with fried Asian shallots.
