Hanoi fried sour sausage is a dish that is often misunderstood by people as sour sausage (usually sour, wrapped in banana leaves) and then fried until crispy, called fried sour sausage. But that's not the case! Fried sour sausage is actually made mainly from ground pork and pork skin, quite similar to sour sausage but is not fermented but is fried directly, or rolled in egg, flour and breadcrumbs to "double the crispiness" of the dish. Because it is not sour, many Hanoians also call this dish "sweet sausage", to distinguish it from traditional sour sausage.

Having appeared in Hanoi for a long time, this dish is still a favorite snack of many young people in the capital.

Whether old or young, whether a child living far away from home or familiar with the capital, everyone has enjoyed this spring roll at least once. Especially for young people, fried spring rolls have become an attractive snack that must be enjoyed after school or at noon.

Although fried nem chua is a dish that was born quite late compared to many other dishes, it quickly created a fever and spread everywhere.

Hanoi’s standard sour spring rolls are not as big as today’s industrial spring rolls. The spring rolls are small and moderate. When fried, they do not collapse but still have a certain amount of puffiness. However, because they are not filled with flour, the spring rolls do not puff up. Therefore, when you eat them, you will clearly feel the taste of meat, not the taste of flour.

Nem is made from fresh pork with a moderate amount of lean and fat. Therefore, even though it is coated with a layer of fried flour, the nem still has a very clear sweetness. Besides, the crust is crispy but the inside is soft, moist, and slightly chewy. This softness comes from the fresh meat, not from the flour.
