About Vietnamese pork sausage

Vietnamese Pork Sausage, known as "chả lụa" or "giò lụa," is a popular protein staple in Vietnamese cuisine. Made from finely ground pork, fish sauce, garlic, and sometimes potato or tapioca starch, it is traditionally wrapped in banana leaves and steamed until firm. Often enjoyed in bánh mì sandwiches, noodle dishes, or on its own, this sausage is praised for its smooth texture and savory flavor. Nutritionally, it is high in protein but can also contain notable sodium levels due to the fish sauce and seasonings. It is typically low in fat compared to many Western-style sausages, particularly when lean pork is used. Chả lụa is a versatile and convenient addition to meals, but mindful portion sizes and lower-sodium preparation methods can make it a healthier choice for those watching their salt intake.
