One cannot say they have explored northwestern Vietnam fully if they have not tried the "pork hung up in kitchen", otherwise known as smoked pork.
Smoked pork
You can also find the dish in the northeastern region, especially Cao Bang province.
The main ingredients are intestines stuffed with minced lean pork collar and many spices. The cook either grills it on coal or stir-fries it.
The result is an aromatic string of sausages that can be eaten all year round.
