Sour Fish Soup

Canh chua is a signature sweet and sour soup, typically cooked with fish (such as snakehead or basa) or shrimp along with tamarind, tomatoes, pineapple, bean sprouts, and okra, creating a light sourness that blends harmoniously with a natural sweetness. This dish is usually not very spicy unless chili is added, and it's typically eaten with white rice, served hot as part of a main meal.
