Nem chua

Vietnamese fermented pork dish

Nem chua is a fermented pork dish from Vietnamese cuisine. It is mainly composed of a mixture of lean pork and thin strips of cooked rind, garnished with garlic and chilli. It can take the form of bite-size pieces wrapped individually in aluminum foil and paper, or a kind of cervelat in sealed plastic. Traditionally the leaves of star gooseberry tree, strawberry guava, cluster fig (sung), Ming aralia, the oriental coral tree Erythrina orientalis, or Indian coral tree are used to wrap nem chua, with a thick layer of banana leaves on the outside. It has a sweet-sour taste characteristic of lactic fermentations, a pink color and a firm and elastic texture.
