Chả

Contenido disponible sólo en inglés

Chả is Vietnamese for “sausage”, more specifically referring to the Vietnamese variants of sausages. The word xúc xích also means sausage in Vietnamese, but refers to the pork-based Western "hot dogs" while "lạp xưởng" refers to Chinese sausages that are sweeter in flavour compared to the former two.

Chả can be made of several types of fillers:

• pork (chả lụa)
• deep-fried pork (chả chiên)
• deep-fried cinnamon-flavored pork sausage (chả quế)
• ground chicken (chả gà)
• ground beef (chả bò)
• fish (chả cá)
• tofu or vegetarian (chả chay)
• steamed pork loaf topped with egg yolks (chả trứng hấp)
