Nem Nuong (Vietnamese Grilled Pork Sausage)

Nem Nuong is a popular Vietnamese dish consisting of seasoned minced pork shaped into small sausages and grilled over charcoal until juicy and slightly charred.

The combination of smoky, savory meat with fresh and tangy accompaniments creates a balanced and addictive flavor. Nem Nuong is often enjoyed as a snack or light meal and is beloved by locals and visitors alike for its unique taste and texture.
