Production and consumption
Chả lụa is made of lean pork, potato starch, garlic, ground black pepper, and fish sauce.[2] The pork is traditionally pounded into a paste, seasoned, then steamed inside a package made of banana leaves until cooked.[1]
The sausage is widely applicable, being eaten in bánh cuốn, bánh mì, xôi, and more.
Variants
Variants include:
- chả bì – containing shredded pork skin
- chả bò[3] – beef sausage with herbs
- chả chiên – where the entire sausage is deep-fried (instead of steamed, omitting the banana leaf wrap)
- chả quế – chả chiên that is seasoned with powdered cinnamon before frying[4]
- chả Huế – contains whole black peppercorns and more garlic[5]
Moo yor
Chả lụa has become popular in Thai cuisine, called หมูยอ ([mǔː jɔ̄ː], moo yor; Lao: ຫມູຍໍ, [mǔː jɔ̄ː]), combining หมู, lit. 'pig', with a calque of giò.[6][7][8]
