Hazırlanışı
Adım adım
- 1
Prepare the pork: In a large bowl, combine the pork belly cubes with shallot, garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or longer in the refrigerator.
Yaklaşık 30 dk.
Aşçının notu: Marinating longer will enhance the flavor of the pork.
- 2
Cook the pork: Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork belly and sear on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Yaklaşık 7 dk.
Aşçının notu: Browning the pork adds depth of flavor to the braise.

Braise the pork: Pour in the water, ensuring the pork is mostly submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the pork is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Yaklaşık 1 sa.
Aşçının notu: The pork should be fork-tender but not falling apart.
- 4
Prepare the noodles: While the pork is braising, cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
Yaklaşık 10 dk.
Aşçının notu: For a chewier texture, undercook the noodles slightly.

Prepare the garnishes: Wash and prepare the bean sprouts, shredded lettuce, mint, Thai basil, cilantro, sliced lime, and optional fresh chili and pork cracklings.
Yaklaşık 10 dk.
Aşçının notu: Have all garnishes ready for quick assembly.

Assemble the Cao Lầu: Divide the cooked noodles among serving bowls. Top with a generous portion of the braised pork and some of the rich braising liquid.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: Ensure each bowl gets a good amount of the flavorful sauce.
- 7
Garnish and serve: Arrange the bean sprouts, shredded lettuce, mint, Thai basil, and cilantro over the pork and noodles. Garnish with lime wedges, fresh chili slices, and crushed pork cracklings if desired. Serve immediately.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
Aşçının notu: Let guests add lime and chili to their preference.
