Cao Lầu (Vietnamese Noodle Bowl)

1. 1

   Whisk the soy sauce, garlic, five-spice powder, sugar, paprika, and bouillon granules in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the pork and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

2. 2

   Remove the pork from the marinade and shake off the excess. Discard the remaining marinade.

3. 3

   Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Cook and stir the pork in the hot oil until browned, 4 to 7 minutes. Add the water; cook and stir until the water evaporates and the pork is cooked through, about 2 minutes more.

4. 4

   Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Rinse the rice noodles under cold water and gently separate them. Submerge the noodles in the boiling water until about half-tender, about 30 seconds. Add the bean sprouts to the water and noodles; continue cooking until the noodles are tender yet slightly firm, about 30 seconds more. Drain.

5. 5

   Combine the noodles and pork mixture in a large serving dish. Top with the lettuce, green onions, basil, cilantro, and chow mein.
