           Garlic

           Diced chili
 
  Cut pork along the grain into slices measuring 4 x 5 cm. Then cut
  those slices across the grain into pieces 0.5 cm thin. Crush or
  finely chop one shallot and use it to season the pork along with
  salt, fish sauce, pepper, and sugar. Let marinate for 60 minutes.
  
  Finely chop (or mince) pork shoulder along with the second shallot,
  and season for 60 minutes in the same manner as the pork belly. Mold
  into flat round patties about the same size as the slices of pork
  belly.
  
  Peel papaya and carrot, cut into pieces measuring 1.5 x 1.5 x 0.5 cm,
  squeeze with salt, and then rinse and drain. Add vinegar and sugar
  and mix thoroughly to make pickles.
  
  Rinse and drain raw leafy vegetables.
  
  Prepare 2 stainless steel grill racks.
  
  Place each slice of pork belly on a grill rack until it is full.
  Grilled pork belly is called chả miếng. Brush oil on another
  grill rack and fill with the pork shoulder patties. This is called
  chả viên.
  
  Make a charcoal fire and heat until the coals are red. Place the grill
  racks on the coals and turn frequently so that the pork does not burn.
  Remove when meat browns and becomes fragrant.
  
  When Serving:
  
  Place some pickles in a bowl, add chả miếng and chả viên, and
  add sweet and sour fish sauce so that it covers the two types of
  chả.
  
  Place noodles and raw leafy vegetables on separate plates.
  
  When eating, each person can add noodles and raw leafy vegetables to
  their own bowl, adding condiments to taste.
