Nee hoor

Nem chua is a traditional dish of cured and fermented meat. Although the dish is traditionally made from pork, it can also be made with other types of meat such as beef. In order to prepare it, lean pork is minced, then combined with sliced pork skin, spices, chili peppers, and garlic. The combination is wrapped into banana leaves, then stored for the fermentation process from 3 to 5 days in a cold place. These rolls have a sweet, salty, spicy, and sour flavor, and they're usually served as a snack or an appetizer with raw garlic on top, and fish sauce or chili sauce on the side. They can also be grilled. Nem chua is especially popular for the Lunar New Year celebrations.
