Which Vietnamese grilled pork sausage is called nem nướng?

Nem nướng is the Vietnamese grilled pork sausage.

The sausage is made from seasoned ground pork shaped into logs or patties and grilled until browned. Its flavor is commonly savory and lightly sweet, with a springy texture produced by the preparation of the pork mixture.

Nem nướng is especially associated with central and southern Vietnam. It may be served with rice paper, herbs, pickled vegetables, and a thick dipping sauce, allowing diners to assemble rolls at the table.

The name can cause confusion because nem is used for several Vietnamese foods. Nem chua is a fermented pork sausage, while nem nướng is identified by the word nướng, meaning grilled.
