Sour Soup with Red Tilapia

Rate this recipe
This dish comes from the waterways of the Mekong Delta. Every flood season, catches of red tilapia are sold all over the small markets, and people take them home to make soup, braise or fry with lemongrass and chili... But sour soup is the one that wins hearts, with the sweet, tangy, tender fish that everyone falls for.
