❀Cooking With Mom: Nem Chua {Cured/Fermented Beef}

Nem chua is quite a delicacy in the Vietnamese culture. Typically, small little cubes are served on a dish, and people will munch on it casually around a table over a few opened bottles of beer. Fermenting and curing beef has been a part of almost every culture before the invention of the fridge. Give a try! This spicy, sour, garlic appetizer will surely be a new favorite! I grew up on this stuff, so I don't find it strange at all. Truth is, sometimes I actually crave it!
1 lb of fresh lean ground beef (you can use pork, but it's much safer to eat beef)
11 Thai Peppers
1 Garlic
¼ cup Sugar
½ tsp Salt
1 Package Loba Nam Powder Seasoning Mix (Sometimes called Nem Powder Mix)
1 Bag Que Huong Bi Tuoi- Cooked Sliced Pork Skin
4-7 drops of Red Food Coloring

i tried this for the first time this year and IT'S SO GOOD!!!! i love the strong peppery, sweet sour, umami flavour 😍😍

[@JanetTL61]

I love cooking with mom! I'm away from home attending college for the first time and these videos remind me of home. I miss my mom so much and this is everything she makes!

[@KLsDailyLife]

Yah when I was younger mom did too..because the store bought ones were pork...then she saw how much I loved them so she learned to make them..and she made them with beef. This way she knew what is in it, how it's made and if I could eat it or not!

[@BladDaddy]

Haven’t had beef nam before always the pork from the store. But I can’t wait to try it with beef. It would make more sense right since we eat more medium rare, raw beef instead of pork. Good stuff

[@AdamSteidl]

I found some nam powder in a market, didn't know what it was, so I bought it in the hopes I'd find out what to do with it. Thanks, KL, I'm gonna try y'all's recipe.

[@TrangNguyen-yp9mg]

its so cool to see different ways to make nem chua, the way my grandmother makes it, after it fermented, we cut it up into little rectangles and manually wrap each piece in plastic wrap, banana leaves, pepper, and garlic^^ i wonder how your mother's nem chua taste like~

[@ShortieeDana]

I'm so happy you have this cooking series with your mom. I've moved away from my family to an area that doesn't have a large vietnamese population. I've definitely missed some homecooked Vietnamese food. now with your easy to follow videos, I can make it myself!

[@islandtruther8625]

Had zero idea that it was beef that I’ve eaten from those Vietnamese delis:) so so so good! Thank you for this video (even 8 years later!)

[@beautifulldiana]

I love these. I have an aunt from France that knows how to make it but I never got the recipe. Big thanks to you and your mom, KL! Can't wait to try it out this weekend. ;)

[@mayadavis6358]

One of my absolute favorites. I usually buy in little cups from the Asian market. Im ready to try making this myself. 😊

[@Jul_travels]

You mom is amazing! She knows how to make everything!

[@piamolstad6066]

I am soo gonna try this. Tell your mom I love her for sharing all this goodness with us!

[@yuyuchan]

[@RamonaQ]

Love that Momma of yours! So glad to have these videos!

[@ImpetuousPorkus]

[@redsydee]

Thank you so much for these videos and sharing y'alls recipes! I can't wait to see more of them, hopefully we'll have the pleasure of seeing how to make Pho! Thank you and your mom once again for making the tutorials! :)

[@NguyenTu-vl9ui]

Yes I agree with her that it's great beer food! Thanks for the lesson auntie (your mom).......great job!

[@tatianatouch]

I love this! My mom and I make this at home. We wrap them into little sausage like shapes instead so we can eat in individually!

[@thepotters888]

Never tried the beef one. I gotta make this. Thanks for sharing.

[@baoquansui4509]

look so yummy thanks for sharing Definitely i going try to make thank you 😊

[@Frenzybug]

The best fermented pork is from France made by Oriental Kitchen. Nowhere in the US, from California to Texas, or in Australia or in Vietnam can beat the taste of Nem Chua from France. Odd to say, but France has the best Nem Chua.

[@ThyPhan94]

my mom make these all the time and I never tried them, but omg after I tried one, addicted

[@fish4free1]

You are your mom are sooo freaking adorable!!!!

[@radapo7615]

Thank you for your recipe, turn out great! Simple and easy.

[@Iceechibi]

In my family we make Sauerbraten which is beef that is fermented in the fridge with vinegar and onions. We usually ferment for about a week, and its delicious!

[@sweetmeimei]

[@FallenComet3]

[@helenmary9416]

Love it - spicy peppercorns and all - my first time today!

[@Ancrow7]

Yay! I've always seen these in asian supermarkets but I never knew how to make them, so thank you and your mom for this video! :D

[@vivtzka]

My mother in law barely speaks the language around here too, and I understand she didn't learn up till now because she was busy raising her kids and stuff, but she has time now, and she could totally just go learn, and she doesn't. I think it's just a decision one has to make, and of course it's hard, but even just learning basic english would benefit her so much!

[@KLsDailyLife]

You welcome! She's happy to share!

[@psmoua]

Always wondered how to make this. Thanks for sharing!

[@MikkaMori]

This is so interesting! Different from everything i've ever seen!!

[@TrinaNicole22]

Luv y'all's cooking videos

[@CindyLLOVESYOU]

Nem chua is soooooo gooooooodddd!!

[@008tofu]

Great video!!! I love these videos that you're making with your mom!!! Keep them coming!!! :)

[@Sarahie3]

I just made this and is waiting for it to ferment!! Thank you so much for the Nem chua Recipe, its the only recipe on youtube. =]

[@yummyingo]

all this time i've been eating it, i never knew it was raw... hahaha! still won't stop me from eating more though.

[@beetleorange05]

I love your moms cooking!!! Plus I love listening to the intro.. I can't wait to see more of her cooking. :)

[@shengkimmey6848]

FYI, you should ground your own beef and not buy them already grounded. Grounded beef from store comes from separate cuts having more chances to get bacteria.

[@KLsDailyLife]

Lol, no I totally know what you mean. My friend was in the marines and he had to explain to me why Palestine was NOT a country. It was a very long conversation but a fascinating one!

[@FieryJuniper]

my husband loves this stuff and always buys the ones at the Asian store

[@jorode6245]

I love Nem Chua

[@boundbyheart]

I love these, eating it as is, or pan fry.

[@mushcake56]

i had these before it's awesome

[@stacylee9168]

My Thai friend let me try the pork version at his pub and yes it is delicious, addictive and definitely a beer snack...

[@shlomovenezia101]

Radical!!

[@Rinsuki]

I love this! Ate it all the time in VN.

[@normah0219]

This is all good!!! I usually also add lime and fish sauce! Yumm!!!!

[@judimcaulife3769]

Try it with roast beef or spam. Using vinegar and sugar instead of the packaged curing agents.

[@XbabyCCX]

Mmmmm that looks so good!!!

[@MakaraSernett]

This is one of my favorite Vietnamese foods :)

[@yingherr4970]

It's delicious

[@cutieayachan]

OMG! I love these!! Soo yummy!

[@jshvjshv7322]

I tried this recipe but the nem chua is not that sour, did I do something wrong?

[@limelight222]

Very cool this reminds me of the cooking mama games lol cute!

[@Loveya8X]

Woo i love eating Nam Chua! Have it in the fridge.

[@MiniCupKeki]

omg I LOVE nem chua!

[@tashamarie9838]

OMG thank you so much for this video I am always begging my vietnamese friends for nem chua!!!

[@RebeccaBui8417]

These are goooodd

[@shadetreader]

What would be the optimal substitute for the thin slices of pork skin, bean threads or something?

[@uareri27]

I love to slice it thinly and fry it a little to eat with rice! Because it is somehow "raw", my parents always cooked it for me. And now it's the only way I like to eat it!

[@bethalias]

I made your eggrolls the other night and they turned out great! My boyfriend was so surprised. He usually makes fun of me because he comes from a family of chefs and I come from a family of musicians!

[@KLsDailyLife]

they are wonderful!

[@onecreativecriminal]

Is placing the two boxes of soda on top of the nem required? What is the purpose of it. Sorry if I sound rude.

[@stylishlylolly]

I love these videos!! Does your mom have a recipe for vietnamese meat loaf? I'm addicted to that stuff just as much as nem chua! Looking forward to more videos! :)

[@HashTagTai]

your mom's vietnamese accent is exactly like my parents. Must be from the same area =] great vid!!

[@keellylinh]

THIS IS SO GOOD! My mom made this for me, and I prefer homemade!

[@AllAmericanTeam]

Awesome.

[@gigihangbui6444]

This sound weird to grill this nem chua but I did it. When I was little, I love this nem chua but my stomach could not stand the uncooked food. My mom grilled it and gave it to me. It was awesome and I love it. Now I could have the original Nem Chua but I grill it sometime when I do BBQ with friends.

[@LanNguyen-lc1dp]

I think it's pretty good! My family usually eats it around Vietnamese lunar new year!!

[@aerialraine7458]

OMG MORE MORE MORE i looove these series.

[@nhatruchuynh6335]

well traditionally, vietnamese nem chua is wrapped in tree leaves as small cubes and its recipe is a little complicated, so we usually buy them at stores, they sell 10 cubes tied together. Since you can find the nem chua seasoning, it's a lot easier to make it :D too bad I can find that seasoning here in Vietnam

[@Kampkhmai420]

It definitely goes good with beer.

[@TramNguyen-rv7yc]

Ban oi. Minh lam nem voi 92%beef dk?, cam on ban nhieu nhe. Recipe rat don gian va de lam. 🤗🤗🤗

[@tjinc002]

This is so awesome thank you
