Knead the ground beef with fish sauce, sugar, garlic, and black pepper.
Divide the mixture into small koftes and rest for 20 minutes.
Pickle the carrot and radish with lime, sugar, and salt for 15 minutes.
Boil the rice noodles according to the package for 6 minutes.
Cook the koftes in a hot pan for 4 minutes per side.
Make nuoc cham with fish sauce, lime, sugar, garlic, and water.
Serve the koftes, noodles, herbs, and pickles with the sauce.
💡 Tip: Cooking the koftes quickly over high heat gives caramelization; overcooking dries them out. Resting the mixture for 20 minutes helps it hold shape in the pan.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve in bowls with rice noodles, lettuce, mint, cilantro, and pickled sauce.
