For bacon, to remove dirt and odors, you should scrub it with salt, then rinse with cold water and dry. Use a knife to cut the meat into bite-sized pieces.  Marinate the meat with 1/2 tbsp minced shallot, 1/2 tbsp minced garlic, 1/2 tbsp seasoning, 1/2 tbsp MSG, 1/2 tbsp ground pepper, 2 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp colored water, then mix well and let the meat infuse for at least 30 minutes.  As for the ground meat, you add 1/2 tablespoon minced shallot and 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic, 1/2 tablespoon seasoning, 1/2 tablespoon monosodium glutamate, 1/2 tablespoon ground pepper, 1.5 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp colored water. Mix well with your hands and marinate the meat for about 30 minutes to infuse the flavors.  After about 30 minutes, use your hands to take a sufficient amount of ground meat and then roll it into balls.

To remove plastic and dirt, carrots and papayas when you buy them, peel them, then soak them in diluted salt water for about 5-10 minutes, then rinse them with water and then drain.  Proceed to prune the flowers for the carrots, then cut the carrots and papaya into thin slices and put them in a bowl. Add 1/3 tablespoon of salt to the bowl and mix well, marinate for about 15 minutes, then rinse the carrots and papaya with water.  Add 1.5 tbsp sugar, 1/4 tbsp salt, 1 tbsp vinegar, 1/2 tbsp minced garlic, mix well and marinate for another 15 minutes.

Use a brush to spread a thin layer of cooking oil on the electric grill, arrange pork belly and meatballs on top. Grill the meat until golden brown on both sides, then fold into a bowl.

Put the pot on the stove, add 1 cup of fish sauce (about 200ml), 1 cup of sugar (about 200gr), 1/2 cup of vinegar (about 100ml) and 2 cups of filtered water and proceed to cook on high heat for a few minutes. When the seasoning is completely dissolved and the fish sauce starts to boil, turn off the heat. Taste the seasoning to suit your family's taste!

Arrange grilled meat, vermicelli and raw vegetables on a plate. Put the pickled carrots, papaya and 1 minced chili in a bowl, then add the cooked sugar fish sauce and stir well.
