00:00Today we are making a canh cà bung.
00:02Canh cà bung in Vietnam,
00:03we usually cook a lot of dishes every day,
00:09like my mother always cook.
00:11Or I really remember that when I have time,
00:13I can cook a canh cà bung.
00:15You start off with basically like sautéing the pork belly,
00:18try and get some browning on it at the bottom.
00:19And then we start slowly adding in ingredients
00:21at the time that they cook.
00:22These are Japanese eggplants here.
00:24You can use, you know, western eggplants.
00:26It's not going to be as good.
00:27I would definitely try to source Japanese eggplants.
00:29It's also a great dish to have
00:30as part of like a fuller meal too.
00:32Usually in Vietnam you'll have a salty dish,
00:34a vegetable dish, and then like a soup dish.
00:36So this would be the soup component in that.
00:38Have a little grilled pork on the side,
00:40maybe a little pickled vegetable,
00:41and then this, and that's a pretty decent meal there.
