Vietnamese Steamed Egg Meatloaf, Chả Trứng Hấp

Vietnamese steamed egg meatloaf aka Chả Trứng Hấp, is a delightful dish that embodies the essence of Vietnamese home cooking. This dish is a harmonious blend of finely ground pork and aromatic ingredients, bound together by the subtle richness of eggs, creating a texture that is both tender and satisfying.
Imagine a dish where the pork mince is steamed to perfection, ensuring that every bite is exceptionally moist. The addition of crunchy wood ear mushrooms introduces a pleasant textural contrast, while the top of the meatloaf is adorned with a gorgeous egg yolk glaze, giving it a beautiful golden hue that is as appealing to the eye as it is to the palate.
The meatloaf is not just about the taste; it's about the experience. As you slice through the soft, yielding loaf, you uncover the intricate layers of flavor. The woodear mushrooms provide an earthy crunch, the green bean thread noodles add a delicate chewiness, and the onion brings a subtle sweetness that complements the savory pork.
This dish is often served as part of a larger meal, typically accompanying Cơm Tấm, a plate of broken rice with grilled pork chops. It's a testament to the Vietnamese culinary tradition of balancing flavors and textures to create a meal that is both nourishing and comforting.
