Ingredients
Pork skin 100 g
Minced pork 200 g
Eggs 1 piece
Raw pork paste (gio song) 100 g
Tempura batter mix 150 g
Tapioca starch 50 g
Panko breadcrumbs 150 g
Apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon
Implementation Steps
01
Put the minced pork in a bowl and season with 1 tablespoon each of seasoning powder, sugar, fish sauce and tapioca starch, mixing well so the meat absorbs the seasoning. Cover tightly with cling film and put it in the freezer for about 60 minutes.
After 60 minutes in the freezer, take the meat out and grind it again to make it springy (you can also use a mixer), then return it to the freezer for another 60 minutes.

02
Scrape any hairs off the pork skin and wash it thoroughly in salt water.
Boil the pork skin until cooked, let it cool, then cut it into thin strips.
03
Take the minced pork out and grind it a second time, then mix it with the pork paste and shredded pork skin. Mix well and shape into small balls or logs, as you like.
04
Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat well.
Roll each piece of meat in turn in the batter mix, the egg and then the breadcrumbs. Fry over low heat until the nem are a lovely golden colour, then lift them out.
05
MAKING THE DIPPING SAUCE
Finely chop (mince) the chillies. In a bowl, stir together a little chilli sauce, apple cider vinegar, sugar, the minced chilli and a little water.
The nem are fried and the dipping sauce is ready – dig in. They're delicious with cucumber or fresh greens.
