2. Bun Cha

Vietnamese bun cha is a vibrant amalgam of pork, crisp lettuce and cucumber, bright herbs, and rice vermicelli, all united by a potent sweet-sour-salty sauce known as nuoc cham. The traditional version features grilled pork patties shaped like squished meatballs. Here, we swap the grill for a nonstick skillet and press the patties into ½‑inch-thick disks to give them an even more flat, brownable surface area than the originals. Nuoc cham traditionally includes fish sauce; to make up for its absence here, we substitute similarly salty soy sauce. We use the sauce two ways: A couple of tablespoons go into the meat mixture, and the rest goes on the side for drizzling over the salad, meat, and noodles according to individual preference. For the best results for these Bun Cha by America’s Test Kitchen, make sure to shake all excess water from the noodles after rinsing them. For a less spicy sauce, use only half the Thai chile. To serve, place platters of noodles, salad, sauce, and pork patties on the table and allow diners to assemble components to their taste.

Today we’re taking things down south for some comfort and heartiness. Root vegetables signify a time period where our bodies yearn to ground down and essentially stock up for the winter. Ayurveda calls this time of year Vata season. Try to include more root vegetables into your diet during Autumn and embrace the qualities of Fall by practicing grounding activities such as meditating and physically grounding (walking barefoot outside). A good start is making this Cajun Lentil Étouffé by Trudy Geneus — it’s delicious and perfect for Fall.
