''Chả'' is Vietnamese for " sausage", referring to the Vietnamese types of sausage. Other types of sausage have different names: ''xúc xích'' refers to the pork-based Western " hot dog", and " lạp xưởng" refers to Chinese sausages, sweeter in flavour than the former two. ''Chả'' can be made of several types of fillers: * pork ('' chả lụa'') * deep-fried pork (chả chiên) * deep-fried cinnamon-flavored pork sausage (''chả quế'') * ground chicken (''chả gà'') * ground beef (''chả bò'') * fish (''chả cá'') * tofu or vegetarian (''chả chay'') * steamed pork loaf topped with egg yolks (''chả trứng hấp'')
