- Place the pork in a pot. Add enough water to cover the meat, and add ½ teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil for 15-17 minutes, until no red liquid comes out when pierced with a chopstick. Then remove the meat and place it in cold water to keep it white and tender before thinly slicing it. To ensure deliciousness when rolled, choose meat with both lean and fatty parts. The best cuts are pork belly, pork leg, or ham.
- Peel and thinly slice cucumber, carrot, and pomelo into bite-sized pieces.
- Peel off the skin of green plantains, thinly slice, and soak in a mixture of salt and vinegar water to prevent browning and sap flow.
- Pick the freshest, youngest greens. Then wash thoroughly and soak in salt water for 10-15 minutes before draining.
Step 2: Prepare the dipping sauce
Place minced garlic, chili, and ¼ pomelo prepared in a large bowl, mix with 3 tablespoons of fermented fish sauce and 4 teaspoons of sugar. Season to taste.
Step 3: Finalization
Arrange thinly sliced meat, vegetables, and rice paper on a plate. Serve with the dipping sauce in small bowls.
