Steps
Mix the ground pork and sliced pork belly separately, each with a share of the fish sauce, sugar, garlic, and shallot. Marinate 20 minutes.
Shape the ground pork into small patties.
Mix all dipping sauce ingredients (fish sauce, sugar, lime juice, water) and stir in the sliced carrot.
Grill or pan-sear the patties and pork belly slices until charred and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
Cook the vermicelli according to package directions, drain, and rinse with cold water.
Warm the dipping sauce slightly and add the hot grilled pork to it right before serving.
Serve noodles, lettuce, and herbs alongside the bowl of sauce and pork for dipping.
