About Cha lua
Cha Lua, also known as Vietnamese pork sausage or giò lụa, is a traditional food commonly found in Vietnamese cuisine. Made from finely ground pork, pork fat, and tapioca starch, it is seasoned with fish sauce and black pepper before being wrapped in banana leaves and steamed or boiled. The result is a smooth, dense, and savory sausage that is often sliced and served with noodle soups, banh mi, rice dishes, or eaten as a snack. Cha Lua is relatively low in carbohydrates and offers a source of protein, but it can be high in sodium and saturated fat due to ingredients like fish sauce and pork fat. Moderation is key when enjoying this flavorful Vietnamese staple, and pairing it with fresh vegetables or whole grains is a great way to balance its nutritional profile.
