Nem Nuong Can Tho (Grilled Pork Rolls)
Nem Nuong in Can Tho offers a vibrant mix of grilled pork, rice paper, herbs, and dipping sauce — a dish that's as fun to eat as it is delicious. Unlike the Nha Trang version, Can Tho’s style has a slightly sweeter and smokier flavor.
The pork is marinated and grilled over charcoal until caramelized. It’s served with crunchy pickles, fresh cucumber, and soft rice paper. The star of the show is the signature dipping sauce — thick, nutty, garlicky, and slightly spicy.
Rolling your own Nem Nuong is part of the joy. Locals often share it among friends or family, making it a great social meal. It’s fresh, interactive, and deeply satisfying after a long day exploring the floating markets.
