Nem lui is a traditional dish originating from Hue. The dish consists of ground pork that's grilled on a lemongrass skewer. Other ingredients often include black pepper, pork skin, garlic, shallots, and fish sauce. The meat combination is rolled into a sausage shape around a lemongrass stick, and it's then brushed with oil and grilled on a coal stove until slightly charred. Nem lui typically comes accompanied by vegetables, Vietnamese herbs, and rice paper that's rolled like a spring roll while the grilled ground pork is used as the filling, and the combination is then dipped in a sweet and sour peanut-sesame sauce. The dish is served as a main course or a snack in the afternoon.
