Braised river Barb fish served with mixed vegetables

Description

River barb is a freshwater fish known for its sweet and firm flesh, especially loved in the Mekong Delta. Traditionally braised until soft and flavorful, the fish is served with a refreshing mix of lightly pickled vegetables like water lily stems, young mango, starfruit, and green banana. This hearty, flavorful combination brings back the soul of Southern countryside cuisine.
