Nem Nuong -- Vietnamese Pork Patties image

These come from a book of Vietnamese cooking, lent to me by a friend. I have not tried them yet. Nuoc cham is a dipping sauce and I have not posted one to go with this recipe as there are plenty already on Zaar.

I've never had Vietnamese food before, but these patties were a great introduction. They were so flavorful and juicy, and the dipping sauce was the perfect complement. I'll definitely be making these again.

These patties were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think I'll try making them again with less chili pepper next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, and the patties turned out a little dry. I think I should have added more moisture, maybe some grated carrots or chopped onion. The flavor was good, though.

These patties were easy to make and turned out great! I used ground chicken instead of pork, and they were still very flavorful. I served them with rice and vegetables, and everyone loved them.
