Vietnamese tacos are a nice combination of traditional vietnamese sauces such as; fish sauce and hoisin sauce. The taco filling consist of tender pork shoulder, marinated for 1 hour, along with marinated cucumber, carrots, peppers, cilantro, and sesame seeds. You can also add marinated or sautéed onions.
Your marinade for the garnish is a key part of the taco.
Seasoned rice vinegar, sugar, kosher salt or sea salt are needed to make a nice tangy maenad.
Washing your pork with sea salt removes bacteria and cleans the meat.
In the video we used mini bell peppers.
Using a garlic press will help with mincing your garlic.
Sliced and marinated carrots and cucumber add flavor and crunch to your taco.
The combination of garlic, ginger, soy sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar make this marinade one of the best.

Marinated Pork Shoulder
Canned biscuit dough is quick and great for making Steamed Bao.
Adding thick sweet soy sauce to your cooked pork shoulder boost the flavor of the meat and enhances the overall flavor of the taco. Also gives your pork a rich deep color. If you wish you can also use a slow cooker or crock pot.
Remember that your dough will rise and puff up when steamed.
Your tacos should look like this. With the carrots and cilantro visible. You can see the hoisin sauce spread on the inside of the bun.
