Canh chua - 越南酸湯 (TBD)
Sour soup from Vietnam’s Mekong Delta is a rustic yet flavorful dish that embodies the spirit of the waterways. The broth is made with fresh fish like catfish or snakehead, blended with the natural sourness of tamarind, the fragrance of lemongrass, and a touch of chili heat. It’s typically served with vegetables such as water lilies, banana blossoms, bean sprouts, and taro stems, creating a perfect balance of taste and texture. Each bowl captures the vibrant, generous soul of the South — simple, colorful, and full of life.
