Chả trứng, also chả trứng hấp (steamed) and chả trứng thịt (pork), is a Vietnamese steamed omelette, or egg meat loaf with pork. Trứng translates to egg, thịt translates to meat but is usually pork.[1] It is usually served with hot rice, cucumber and chili sauce.
The broken rice dish cơm tấm bì (skin) comes with a chả trứng egg meatloaf.[2]
Chả rươi is a special seasonal (autumn) omelette using nereididae sandworms (rươi) instead of pork.
