EverydayCooked

Canh Chua is a traditional Vietnamese sweet and sour soup characterized by its vibrant combination of tamarind-based broth, fresh fish, and tropical vegetables. This light yet filling soup features a distinctive balance of pineapple, tomatoes, and elephant ear stem, typically garnished with aromatic herbs like ngo om (rice paddy herb) and rau ram (Vietnamese coriander). The broth's signature tartness comes from tamarind, while fish provides lean protein and vegetables contribute various nutrients and textures.
