Vietnamese Pork Rub
Vietnamese Pork Rub
Vietnamese Pork Rub is a salt-free, MSG-free, sweet-heat seasoning blend. Vietnamese Pork Rub has also been called Vietnamese pork seasoning, Vietnamese seasoning, Vietnamese spice blend, or Vietnamese seasoning powder.
Pork is the preferred meat in Vietnamese cuisine. The geology of the country, with its steep mountain hillsides, is not suited for larger animals like cattle. Pigs take up much less space to care for and can thrive on a diet that ranges from soybeans to table scraps. More than sixty percent of all the meat that’s eaten in Vietnam is pork, and this mild meat has shown that it’s a great canvas for the sweet, spicy, sour flavors that make up Vietnamese cuisine.
Vietnamese Pork Rub is popular with:
- independent spice shops;
- olive oil shops;
- American Southern restaurants;
- gastro pubs;
- catering companies; and
- seasoning companies
Flavor Profile

How To Use
Vietnamese Pork Rub was formulated with pork in mind, so use it as a rub for a whole tenderloin, Smoked Ribs, Braised Pork Belly, or pork chops. Mix with ground pork and sauté for lettuce wraps. Try your hand at a Banh Mi Sandwich or go a different route and make some Chicken Phō Soup. Swap in for a quick and easy Shrimp Eggroll appetizer. Make some roasted tofu or sauteed pork and enjoy it in a Spicy Noodle Bowl. Add to stir-fry for an enormous flavor boost. Toss over sweet butternut squash or sweet potatoes and roast.
Vietnamese Pork Rub is great to use for pork tenderloin, chops, ribs, or ground. Pair with chicken, tofu, mushrooms, or tempeh. Add to eggs, potatoes, rice, pasta, stir fry, vegetables, marinades, or stews.
