Authentic Vietnamese-Style Meatball Recipe

    These are quite tasty, but as a previous reviewer pointed out, they're not really Vietnamese, as pork is the common meat for such a dish in Vietnam. These are more similar to Korean-style meatballs. In fact, I even posted a recipe for Korean meatballs on this site a long while back that's similar to this one (though it also included a dipping sauce).

    Vietnamese Meatballs,We made a delicious meal of these, Chinese eggrolls, Thai corn fritters, and nuoc cham dipping sauce. I found variations of this recipe on the web, but adjusted the amounts for the best flavor. These can also be grilled. UPDATE: I can’t vouch for it being authentically Vietnamese, though the recipes I combined to make this were labeled that way. Also, I don’t think fish sauce is a particularly Korean ingredient. I’d change the name to Asian Meatballs but that would mess up the URL.,These are quite tasty, but as a previous reviewer pointed out, they’re not really Vietnamese, as pork is the common meat for such a dish in Vietnam.

As far as I know, meat nem is traditionally only made from pork. The closest thing we have to a beef nem would be Bò Lá Lót, where beef is wrapped in betel leaves and grilled. 🙂
