Chả trứng

Chả trứng, also known as chả trứng hấp or chả trứng thịt, is a delightful Vietnamese dish featuring a steamed omelet or egg meatloaf made with pork. In Vietnamese, "trứng" means egg, and "thịt" typically refers to pork. This savory dish is often served with hot rice, fresh cucumber slices, and a spicy chili sauce, creating a comforting and flavorful meal.

One popular way to enjoy chả trứng is in cơm tấm bì, a dish of broken rice paired with the egg meatloaf. Its unique texture and taste make it a favorite among many.

In the autumn, there's a special variation of this dish called chả rươi. Instead of pork, this version uses nereididae sandworms (rươi), offering a seasonal and distinctive flavor. Whether you opt for the classic chả trứng or the autumnal chả rươi, this dish is a must-try for anyone exploring Vietnamese cuisine.
