Bun cha, a beloved dish from Hanoi, comprises grilled pork meatballs and slices served in a flavorful broth, alongside cold vermicelli noodles and fresh vegetables. Chef Kevin Tien from Moon Rabbit, a renowned D.C. restaurant, emphasizes the versatility of bun cha by suggesting various accompaniments like minced garlic and nuoc cham, allowing diners to tailor their flavors. Ideal for dinner parties, bun cha encourages guests to experiment with their preferred flavor combinations while pairing with wines like rosé or gewürztraminer to enhance the experience.
"I like serving it with extra sides of minced garlic, chopped chilis, and nuoc cham (a supremely useful type of fish sauce), for people to adjust their liking to the flavor profile of their broth."
"Bun cha and its flavorful companions make for an excellent choice for a dinner party, as guests can pick and choose which ingredients will flavor their meals."
