Vietnamese sour fish soup - canh chua ca
Vietnamese braised fish in claypot - ca ro kho to
On March 27-31, on our way to An Giang province, Vietnam, we stopped in My Tho for lunch with our Vietnamese research partners. These two dishes were among several we ate but my favorite is ca ro kho to, braised fish in claypot (see picture above). It is a tasty fish and the tamarind sauce makes it a perfect dish any time of the day.
The first picture is sour fish soup or canh chua ca. The fish is simmered on the table and the vegetables are added when the fish is nearly cooked. It has a sour and sweetish taste from ripe pineapple, spring onions, shallots, fresh root ginger, lemon grass and tamarind paste. Click the link for the recipe of canh chua ca.
