做法
- 把高汤在宽锅中煮至微沸。搅入罗望子膏;汤会变成浑浊琥珀色。
- 加菠萝、番茄和芋头梗。慢炖10分钟——水果和蔬菜应软化,把甜味和酸味贡献给汤。
- 用鱼露和糖调味。试味——应先猛烈酸,然后咸,菠萝甜味在底部流淌。调罗望子加酸味。
- 把鱼块小心滑入。煮4分钟——肉一变白立刻关火。煮过头鱼会变干。
- 鱼煮的同时炸蒜:在小锅中加热油,炸蒜末60秒至浅金。颜色不应超过琥珀——焦蒜苦。
- 关火后加秋葵和豆芽。撒香草(rau om、锯齿香菜)和辣椒。把蒜油浇在顶上。立即配米饭上桌;canh chua是南越多菜家庭餐的一部分,很少是桌上唯一的菜。

文化背景
Canh chua属于湄公河三角洲——河鱼罗望子汤是当地人在压抑湿热中喝来降温的。Rau om(稻田香草)是南越签名;那种柠檬孜然香在北越烹饪中完全不存在。这道菜总是作为一餐的一部分上桌,旁边有蒸米饭和其他菜;在西贡家中点canh chua作单独主菜会暴露你是外地人。
