Bún chả is the Vietnamese rice-noodle dish traditionally served with grilled pork patties.
The Hanoi specialty features small grilled pork patties and pieces of grilled pork belly served in a bowl of warm, lightly sweetened fish sauce. Rice vermicelli, herbs, and pickled vegetables are eaten with the meat and dipping sauce.
Rather than being assembled as one heavily mixed noodle bowl, bún chả is commonly presented in separate portions. Diners dip or combine the noodles and herbs with the grilled pork as they eat.
Bún chả is often confused with bún thịt nướng. Both use grilled pork and vermicelli, but bún chả is particularly identified with Hanoi-style patties served in a dipping bowl.
