About Nem

Nem, also known as Vietnamese spring rolls or egg rolls, originates from Vietnamese cuisine and showcases a blend of fresh and savory flavors. Typically, nem consists of a filling made from ground pork, shrimp, mushrooms, glass noodles, and various herbs, wrapped in rice paper or wheat-based wrappers. These rolls can be deep-fried for a crispy texture or served fresh, depending on the variation. Nem provides nutrients like protein from the meat and shrimp, along with fiber and vitamins from the added vegetables and herbs. Fresh nem versions are lower in calories and fat compared to fried ones, making them a healthier choice. However, fried nem can be high in saturated fats and sodium, depending on the cooking method and accompanying sauces. It's a versatile dish enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or festive treat that balances traditional flavors with nutritional value.
