Ingredients

2 pounds fresh steamed rice noodles or rice noodle sheets Make steamed rice noodles/sheets at home or purchase them from the market. In Honolulu we buy fresh steamed rice noodles from Lam's Kitchen.
1 roll cha lua (Vietnamese pork sausage), sliced
1 cup bi heo (shredded pork skin)
½ pound bean sprouts
1 large cucumber, sliced into matchsticks
1 head lettuce, shredded
1 bunch Thai basil
1 bunch mint, torn
¼ cup dried shrimp
¼ cup fried shallots
½ cup nuoc cham / nuoc mam sauce

Instructions

Prepare each of the individual ingredients as listed above. Lay them out on individual plates/bowl. Place it all on a table and give each diner a plate.
Now we assemble the meal!
Start by placing a layer of the shredded lettuce, cucumbers, and bean sprouts on the plate. Use as much or as little as you want. When we crave a light meal we use more greens and less of the rice noodles/sheets. And vice versa when we are very hungry! This is the "base" of the dish.
Next add a layer of the rice noodles/sheets. We use about ½ pound of rice noodle/sheets per person.
Now add the meats. This includes the cha lua (Vietnamese pork sausage) and bi heo (shredded pork skin). Use as much or as little as you want.
Sprinkle the dried shrimp and fried shallots on top. The plate is assembled!
Serve each finished plate with a small side bowl of the nuoc cham / nuoc mam sauce.
Let each diner spoon the nuoc cham / nuoc mam sauce over the plate. Use chopsticks to gently mix. Some people like more sauce, others like less. Let everyone add as much as they'd like.
Then you can eat and enjoy!
