作法
- 豬絞肉與魚露、糖、泡打粉、鹽、大蒜、紅蔥、胡椒與米粉混合。用力手揉10分鐘——混合物應從顆粒變成光滑挺實如糊。長時間揉發展出蛋白結構，賦予nem nuong招牌的脆Q感。
- 蓋上冷藏至少4小時，最好過夜。靜置讓調味滲入並讓糊完全結合。
- 雙手沾冷水。取一份糊（約2大匙）圍著去皮香茅梗或木籤捏成12公分長條。香茅從內側為香腸增香。
- 點燃炭爐——瓦斯爐做出的nem nuong太平滑無焦黑。炭火紅熱無焰時放上串。
- 每面烤4分鐘，每2分鐘翻一次，至表面深褐微微起泡、內部剛熟仍多汁。
- 擺好米紙、米線與香料盤。吃法：米紙短暫泡溫水，放萵苣葉、一小把米線、香料、一塊nem nuong（從串上滑下），緊密捲起沾tuong xao或nuoc cham。

文化背景
Nem nuong屬於中越與南越料理；最知名版本來自芽莊，那裡的沾醬tuong xao（發酵豆醬、花生、豬肝與米粉的濃稠混合）是地方指紋。桌邊包是體驗；預組捲感覺像預製品。泡打粉技巧是分辨好nem nuong與普通的關鍵——它賦予肉Q彈口感，與一般烤豬絞肉區別。
