Bún chả

I'm really looking forward to trying a recipe I found for Bún chả. It's a Vietnamese grilled pork recipe and it actually looks pretty good. My girlfriend and I are trying to find food that we both like so I thought I'd give this a try. I'm not sure if it's a traditional Vietnamese recipe.

Here are the ingredients:

*Light Muscovado Sugar
*Vietnamese Fish Sauce
*Garlic
*Shallot
*Palm or Golden Caster Sugar
*Salt
*Minced Pork
*Rice Noodles
*Bean Sprouts
*Cilantro leaves, basil leaves, mint leaves, and chives
*Lettuce leaves

Here are the instructions:

Gently melt the light muscovado sugar with two-thirds of the fish sauce in a heavy based saucepan,
stirring all the time.
• Allow to cool a little then transfer it to a bowl and combine it with the garlic, shallot, palm or caster
sugar, the remaining fish sauce and salt.
• Add the minced pork, mix thoroughly, then cover and leave to stand for 3 hours.
• Shape the minced pork into 20-24 flat little patties, about 1 inch in diameter, place them under a
preheated grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until cooked through. The patties are also very
good cooked on the barbecue.
• To serve, divide the noodles between 4 warmed bowls, add the pork, torn lettuce leaves, bean sprouts
and herbs.
• Spoon the dipping sauce over the whole lot.
