Nem - Cha - Tre

This trio dish originated from the ancient capital of Hue. Perhaps for that reason, the taste of Nem - Cha - Tre in Hue is the most delicious and unique. In the ancient capital of Hue, the Dao Duy Tu neighborhood is the oldest and most famous place to preserve 3 generations as Nem, Cha, and Tre in Hue.

Origin of Nem - Cha - Tre

Nem Hue is different from other regions in seasoning. What is strange about Nem Hue (spring rolls) is the fact that each spring roll always appears around pepper in the middle. Pepper is not pureed and mixed into spring rolls, but it is located right on the rolls, which creates a pungent smell mixed with the sour smell of Hue spring rolls. The flavors are dissolved in small rolls, sour with a strong taste.

Nem - Cha - Tre is made mainly from pureed pork, pork skin, pork ears, garlic, galangal, chilli, sesame, and other spices such as delicious fish sauce, sugar, salt. All these ingredients are wrapped in banana leaves and then steamed or fermented. The secret to creating delicious tea packages is in the "seasoning". Chefs must taste spices so cleverly to bring a rich flavor to Tre for visitors so that they eat once and remember forever.

This dish is best when served with chutney, beer, and wine. The taste of Nem - Cha - Tre is both strong and sour. This trio of specialties can be stored for ten days.
