It recently rated 4.5 out of 5 stars, surpassing many popular dishes worldwide such as Japan’s Unadon, Sashimi, and Salmon Nigiri Sushi, and South Korea’s Chamchi Gimbap.
The term “canh chua cá” encompasses various fish-based Vietnamese soups that are characterized by their combination of sweet, spicy, and sour flavors, TasteAtlas said. The soups are usually made with a tamarind-based broth, and they typically include chunks of pineapple, tomato, okra, bean sprouts, and other vegetables.
Most varieties are prepared with catfish, but some versions include carp, snakehead fish, eels, or salmon. These soups are usually topped with cilantro and served with rice on the side, according to TasteAtlas.
