Servings: persons

1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup oyster sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound ground pork
1/3 cup finely chopped lemongrass, about 3 stalks
3/4 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes or to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 unpeeled cucumber, julienned
1 medium carrot, julienned or shaved
10 ounces rice noodles (vermicelli)
cilantro for garnish

1
Bring a large pot filled 2/3 with water to a boil while prepping the vegetables, bringing it back to a boil just before cooking the noodles.
2
Prep all of the vegetables. Set aside.
3
Combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Whisk to dissolve brown sugar. Add water and cornstarch. Whisk until cornstarch is smooth and incorporated. Set aside.
4
Preheat a large skillet on medium high heat. Add oil. Add ground pork. Cook 1 minute, using a spatula to break pork into chunks. Add lemongrass, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Continue cooking and breaking up pork until the meat is cooked through, about 6 minutes.
5
Add sauce, stirring to incorporate into the pork mixture. Sauce will thicken slightly. Cook for 1 minute, reducing heat to medium when sauce boils. Remove from heat.
6
Add rice vermicelli to boiling water, stirring gently to separate. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Noodles are done when they are tender but maintain body. Do not overcook as noodles will turn mushy quickly. Drain.
7
To serve, place some noodles in a large bowl. Top with 1/4 of pork mixture. Add some cucumber, carrots, cilantro, or other vegetable condiments of choice.
