Canh chua cá thì là, a tomato fish soup fragrant with dill, is one of countless renditions of canh chua Regardless of the season, there’s always a soup in a Vietnamese meal. Collectively known as “canh,” these soups bring balance to bold and assertive kho , cleanse the palate, and can help moisten the rice for smoother ingestion. Most everyday canh are a humble fare, where vegetables are cooked in water or a quick stock that gets its savory depth from either ground pork, dried shrimp, or mushrooms.
While canh chua cá thì là is generally made with freshwater fish, this recipe is flexible and can accommodate different varieties . A whole fish cut into steaks is commonly used, though Trinh’s family exclusively makes their soup with a freshwater fish head because of its sweetness and richness.I start the soup by giving the fish a quick sear to lessen any muddy flavor, a technique I learned from both Trinh and Andrea Nguyen’s.
