Raw lean pork is ground fine, mixed with strips of boiled pork rind, roasted rice powder, sugar, salt, garlic and spices, then shaped into small rolls wrapped in guava or star gooseberry leaves and banana leaf. The rolls sour at room temperature for two to four days and are eaten raw.
Amounts from a sourceThe shares of pork and rind are those quoted in the introduction of a study of fermented foods from central Vietnam (Phan et al. 2017), which takes them from an earlier study; they are not measurements from that study's own samples. The sources used here give no amounts for the rice powder, sugar, salt or spices.

At a glance
Raw lean pork is ground fine, mixed with strips of boiled pork rind, roasted rice powder, sugar, salt, garlic and spices, then shaped into small rolls wrapped in guava or star gooseberry leaves and banana leaf. The rolls sour at room temperature for two to four days and are eaten raw. Made in 5 steps over 2 days – 4 days. The longest step, ferment at room temperature, takes 2–4 days (Phan Y.T.N 2017). Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Companilactobacillus farciminis do most of the fermenting.
Nem chua is a small raw pork roll soured in leaf wrappers for only a few days, with boiled pork rind and roasted rice powder in the mix. It is not dried or smoked, unlike most European fermented sausages.
Tré (central Vietnam)Made with cooked pork, including ear and nose; less lactic acid and, on average, more acetic acid than nem chua in five Huế market samples each.
Safety
Nem chua is eaten without cooking after two to four days of souring at ambient temperature. A 2017 study of its lactic bacteria says the tight wrapping inhibits potential pathogens and, citing earlier work, gives a shelf life of five days at room temperature, but it tested neither pathogens nor keeping. Souring is not shown to make raw pork safe. The US CDC says curing, drying or smoking alone does not consistently kill Trichinella worms, and undercooked pork is among the meats it names. A 2013 post-outbreak study in Thanh Hoa province linked raw and undercooked dishes, nem chua among them, made from one hunted wild boar to trichinellosis and advised thorough cooking of meat. These steps describe a traditional product, not a tested home method.
