Vietnamese Bun Cha Vermicelli and Herbs Recipe – Gluten Free

Share

I recently became an Ambassador for Coeliac New Zealand, which is a great honour for me. I am lucky to have met so many different people walking through the doors of Sachie’s Kitchen for cooking classes, and so get to see many different intolerances and allergies. One that we see often is Coeliac Disease, or people who require gluten free options, which is why I make sure to keep a lot of tasty Asian GF friendly recipes on hand!
 
The combination of these pork Bun cha and this classic Vietnamese dipping sauce, Nuoc Cham creates South East Asian flavour heaven. In summer, you can cook this pork on the BBQ which will add a delicious authentic grilled flavour!
