Nem Nuong -- Vietnamese Pork Patties image

These come from a book of Vietnamese cooking, lent to me by a friend. I have not tried them yet. Nuoc cham is a dipping sauce and I have not posted one to go with this recipe as there are plenty already on Zaar.

Overall, I thought these were a pretty good recipe. I would definitely make them again, but I might try a different dipping sauce next time.

These were a bit too greasy for my liking, but the flavor was good.

I followed the recipe exactly and the patties fell apart when I tried to flip them. Not sure what I did wrong.

A bit bland for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference.

I'm not usually a fan of pork patties, but these were really good. The addition of the vegetables and herbs made them really flavorful.
