Canh măng

Canh măng is a traditional soup originating from Vietnam. It's made with bamboo shoots as key ingredients. The soup also features sugar, fish sauce, fried shallots, and either sliced scallions or minced coriander. The bamboo shoots need to be boiled and rinsed before they're sliced and mixed with sugar, then lightly fried with the shallots. Water is added to the pot and the soup is simmered for an hour. It's then seasoned with fish sauce and topped with fried shallots and scallions or coriander. Canh măng is traditionally served during Lunar New Year (Tet) celebrations, and it is often served with steamed white rice.
