Raymon Kim's Meat-Laden Bun Cha

Cooking tips 💡

• When shaping the meatballs, press the center slightly with your fingertip to create a small indentation—this helps the meatballs cook evenly without bursting during grilling.
• To capture authentic Vietnamese flavors, include Thai basil alongside cilantro—it adds a distinctive aromatic depth.
