The tapioca/rice noodle o made by hand and although after cooking it was amazing. Texture was perfect. I couldn't seem to get them to stop breaking and they kept sticking together even after I cut them and separated it with a knife and rice flour. Hmmm.any suggestions? It was still awesome though. Family loved it!

After it reaches a full boil again, add the remaining vegetables (bac ha, tomatoes, ngo om and some basil leaves), sugar, fish sauce tamerind powder to get the sweet and tangy combination of the broth. I don't like bean sprout to be overcooked so I usually add bean sprout in a serving bowl then pour canh chua on top of it. I also fry some finely chopped garlic and add it to the canh chua bowl. If you like the red color in the broth, use Annatto oil (dau hat dieu) to fry the garlic. Annatto oil recipe is on my blog.Loan aka Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02413757380816843136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967868157203158291.post-76402736612193596742012-07-20T09:52:03.116-07:002012-07-20T09:52:03.116-07:00By any chance you have recipe for canh chua?
