Vietnamese Snacks for Game Day and Holiday Parties

Football season, Friendsgiving, office holiday parties: this time of year is all about snacks and sharing. If you are tired of the same chips and dip, bring something people will talk about. Vietnamese snacks are crunchy, savory, a little spicy and made for eating with friends. In Vietnam, there is even a word for snacks you share over drinks: mồi nhậu.

Here are our favorite Vietnamese party snacks.

1. Tóp mỡ mắm ớt – Spicy pork rinds

Crunchy pork cracklings coated in a sweet, salty fish sauce and chili glaze. The ultimate beer snack, and also great sprinkled over rice, salads or rice paper. Shop Tóp Mỡ Mắm Ớt (8 oz).

2. Đậu phộng da cá – Crispy garlic chili peanuts

Peanuts in a crunchy shell, seasoned with garlic and chili. Pour them in a bowl and they will be gone by halftime. Shop Đậu Phộng Da Cá.

3. Cơm cháy tôm – Crispy rice crackers with shrimp

4. Bắp rang tỏi ớt – Crispy garlic chili corn

How to build a Vietnamese snack board

• Mix textures: something crunchy (pork rinds, peanuts, rice crackers) and something chewy (beef or chicken jerky).
• Add dips: sriracha, lime wedges and a little chili salt go with almost everything.
• Label them: a small card with the Vietnamese name makes it a conversation starter.
• Order early: holiday shipping gets busy, so give yourself a few extra days.
