Easy Vietnamese Ham Recipe

In Vietnam and Cambodia, this simple Vietnamese ham recipe is extremely popular. You may eat it as a snack, use it to create noodle soup, or add it to a salad. To make this ham even more delectable, you’ll need excellent pork, such as pork loin.

Seasoning

Pork loin, chopped into tiny pieces, 2 12 pounds    
2 tablespoons soy sauce    
1 teaspoon powdered garlic    
1 teaspoon powdered onion    
1/2 teaspoon pepper (black or white)    
sugar (one spoonful)    

Ingredients that are wet

a third of a cup of hot water

Combine all ingredients and put aside.    

Easy Vietnamese Ham Recipe Instructions

  1. In a food processor, grind all of the ingredients to a paste (I mean very fine paste or it won’t work), then add the wet ingredients and mix until everything is combined.
  2. Remove the beef from the freezer and divide it into four little loaves using high quality transparent plastic wrap. Wrap each loaf in three pieces of plastic wrap to form a circular shape (do one layer of wrap at a time then add the next layer)
  3. Place each loaf on a steamer (depending on the size of your steamer, I may steam all 4 loaves) and steam for 30 minutes (the ham should be done after 30 minutes) before slicing. Serve as an appetizer or snack, warm or cold.

Enjoy
