Hi everyone! This is a great Vietnamese noodle dish that's light and packed with flavor. You may have heard it before, it's called Bun Cha Ha Noi and it's president Obama's favorite dish when he visited Vietnam in 2016, about last year's time. I hope you will enjoy! BTW, you can substitute ground pork with ground chicken/turkey if you wish.

Ingredients:
1 lb of ground pork, or chicken/turkey
1 tbs of fish sauce
2 tbs of honey
1 tsp of chinese 5 spice
1 tsp dark soy or caramel sauce
1/2 tsp of fresh ground black pepper
1/2 tbs sugar
A dash of salt
2 tbs minced garlic
2-3 stalks of spring onion- top portion, chopped
1 tbs oyster sauce
Then mix gently and make into little 2-inch patties!

Dipping sauce:
1/2 cup of warm water
1/4 cup of sugar
4 tbs of vinegar
2 tbs of minced fresh garlic
1 tbs of minced fresh thai chilis
4 tbs of premium fish sauce
1/2 cup of pickled carrot/daikon/papaya
