A steamed pork meatloaf packed with lots of flavor! Add some fermented shrimp paste for a briny and earthy flavor profile.

Chả trứng hấp is, like a steamed meatloaf. But with Vietnamese flavors. It’s my dad’s favorite thing to eat next to fish! He always made it with mam nam and it stinks so bad to me when I was a child. Now I appreciate and enjoy the savory, salty and pungent flavors that pairs with rice so beautifully!
