Sounds yummy! What's in a sweet and sour soup?
It’s a basic one with pineapple, okra, tamarind, elephant ear stalk, tomatoes, bean sprout, and ngo om. I think that’s it. A full on sweet and sour soup will also have prawns and fish. But this one doesn’t have prawn or fish, unfortunately because when it does the soup is top notch
Elephant ear stalk? Never heard of that one haha.
Yeah I haven’t either I tried to look it up on google and I looked at the image of the vegetable my mum used and that’s what it said. So I went with it 🤷♀️ I laughed first before I posted it 🤣
It’s a Vietnamese vegetable called Bac hà.
