1. A few words about An Tho Hai Phong sour sausage

Nem chua is a snack but is quite popular with many people. When mentioning it, people often think of Nem chua Thanh Hoa, Nem chua Yen Mac, but few people know that in Vietnam there is another delicious and equally outstanding Nem chua dish, which is Nem chua An Tho Hai Phong. This type of nem is gradually becoming more familiar to culinary connoisseurs, it is a specialty of An Tho commune, An Lao district, Hai Phong, Vietnam.

Nem chua Thanh Hoa has the main ingredients of minced meat and shredded skin, fermented and then wrapped into long, thin finger-sized sticks, stuck together. Meanwhile, Nem chua An Tho Hai Phong has a completely different way of processing, creating a unique brand for this land as well as Hai Phong tourism.

2. Instructions for making Hai Phong sour sausage

The owner of the Tu Quyen Nem Chua production facility, Mr. Nguyen Trung Tu in An Tho commune, said that to make the right and standard Nem Chua, the ingredients must be extremely fresh and delicious. In the past, people often wrapped Nem very elaborately with sticky rice straw, but now this type of sticky rice straw is not available much so people have to replace it with banana leaves.

First, to prepare, we must choose really good meat. Specifically, the type of meat used to make nem chua must be really good, just out of the oven, still hot. Once the desired meat is selected, the processor will use a sharp knife to remove the tendons and fibrous parts, then quickly slice them into thin slices.

Along with the pork skin being processed cleanly, cut into thin, even strips, the ingredients and spices are also mixed in the exact ratio and naturally fermented. After a certain period of time, the meat will turn a beautiful pink color. When An Tho Hai Phong sour sausage is ripe enough, it will be refrigerated to slow down the fermentation process.

Although the description seems easy and concise, to make a batch of delicious, standard spring rolls, one must have experience and skills to recognize the right level of doneness. Because to make it successful, we also have to watch the weather.
