{"title":"Canh Chua","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCanh chua\u003c\/strong\u003e is southern Vietnam's sweet-and-sour soup — a bright, tamarind-and-pineapple broth built around taro stem, okra, tomato and a fistful of fresh herbs. In the Mekong Delta it arrives at the table most nights, somewhere between a soup and a shared side dish, eaten with rice rather than on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes it canh chua rather than any other \u003cem\u003ecanh\u003c\/em\u003e is the sourness. \u003cem\u003eChua\u003c\/em\u003e means sour.

Freeze-drying removes the water from the finished soup at low temperature under vacuum, so the vegetable pieces hold their structure and rehydrate as recognisable ingredients rather than dissolving into powder. Add 150–220 ml of hot water, wait three minutes, and you get the bowl rather than the shopping list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach box holds five cubes — five servings — keeps for up to 15 months at room temperature, and needs no refrigeration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRead more\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/ingredients\/why-sour-asian-soups-like-tom-yum-canh-chua-and-sinigang-are-growing-in-popularity\"\u003eWhy sour Asian soups like tom yum, canh chua and sinigang are growing in popularity\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/ingredients\/two-herbs-are-the-real-pho-canh-chua-flavor-heroes\"\u003eTwo herbs are the real pho and canh chua flavour heroes\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/ingredients\/taro-stem-the-ingredient-that-absorbs-soup-flavour-like-a-sponge\"\u003eTaro stem: the ingredient that absorbs soup flavour like a sponge\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/pages\/stockist\"\u003eWhere to buy canh chua in Australia\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"vegetarian-vietnamese-sweet-and-sour-soup","title":"Vietnamese Sweet \u0026 Sour Soup (Canh Chua Chay)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExperience the mind-blowing vegetarian version of Canh Chua!
