Vietnam: <i>Nem nuong</i> or grilled Vietnamese pork sausage with rice, served with noodles, rice paper, fresh vegetables, herbs and garlic, accompanied by a peanut sauce, fried and fresh spring rolls, and fermented pork

Nem nướng can be eaten alone as an appetizer or snack, and dipped in Nước chấm (dipping sauce), or with a peanut dip. Nước chấm is fish sauce diluted with water and flavored with sugar, lime juice, chopped raw garlic, chopped fresh bird's eye chili (Thai chili)/cayenne pepper, and sometimes with vinegar. The peanut sauce is made of peanut butter and hoisin sauce, flavored with fish sauce and crushed garlic, topped with crushed roasted peanut. It is served with fresh vegetables such as lettuce, julienned pickled vegetables like carrots and white radishes, and fresh herbs like mint and basil.
