Firstly, we will talk about Grilled Snakehead Fish (Cá Lóc Nướng Trui). As rustic, easy to make and characterize the South River region but Grilled snakehead fish has a very unique flavor. This one is one of well-known Vietnamese Street Food.
 

Firstly, I would like to talk about the process of making this food. Just catch the fish out of the river, washed, using bamboo rods across fish from head to tail and fish buried in haystacks, set on fire or plug rods into the ground and covered with straw took fire until the ashes. When cooked fish, scrape off scales were scorched to reveal white meat and aromatic.
 

 

Fish baked just remove the meat with salt pepper, salt, which is kind of a sense of taste both salty spicy aromatic sweetness both of specialty grilled fish dishes of southern people. In the Mekong Delta, tactic usually eat grilled fish with tamarind sauce, wrapped in rice paper, herbs types of food is very good.
 

 

One more Vietnamese Street Food, I would like to introduce is Salted Turtle (Rùa Rang Muối). Turtle is a wild animal there are many areas in Ca Mau mangrove. There are many types of turtles, which are golden turtle, tortoise cover, rinse, breath turtles, tortoises count the most delicious golden turtle, turtle cap followed, without the "help spend" rinse, do not eat turtles or turtle breath night is just as the name implies, the smell is not that good then.
 

 

Previously turtles live in the wild so many people are spoiled for hunting Mau brought to market. Recently, to protect wildlife from extinction to Ca Mau provincial government has banned hunting wild turtle trade that allows only animal trafficking turtles (like one shrimp, crab, thus oysters or clams). Turtles can make a lot of delicious food, but the food is still delicious salted turtle, and easy to make, easy to find spices, has been enjoying a particularly rustic origin of the Ca Mau.
 

 

To sum up, when you are planning to visit Vietnam, especially Cà Mau Province, I hope this post can give enough information for all you guys. Hope you like these two Vietnamese Street Food and have a happy trip in my beautiful country.

Some recipes mentioned below have already been introduced by Vietnamese Food Team before, we hope that you guys can recognize those. This new land mentioned in this article is named Sóc Trăng Province – located the Mekong Delta of Southern Vietnam.
 

Firstly, we cannot miss Mixture vermicelli with shrimp, bean sprout, hoisin sauce and roasted Peanuts (Bún gỏi dà). According to food lovers, this recipe is originally come from Spring Rolls recipe with similar ingredients such as: rice vermicelli, vegetables, bean sprouts, etc. Later then, people in Sóc Trăng added a little twist in the making process, they mix all the ingredients in a bowl with the sauce.

You can add your own ingredients to the dish to make it even better, here we can list out some: shrimps, minced bellies, ribs, bean sprouts, etc. For the sauce, you can sprinkle some grinded roasted peanuts to enhance the flavour.
 

Next is rice vermicelli with pork legs and pepper (Bún tiêu giò). Pork legs are main ingredients in this recipe. First, you chop the legs into small pieces, remove the hair and stew it. If you use ham hock, you need to slice the meat thinly, otherwise, the dish will lose its aesthetics and hard to consume also. People here also use duck meat as substitute. Some bean sprouts, rice vermicelli, water mint, sweet basil, Vietnamese Balm, shallot, ham hock … and you are ready to make for yourself and family.

Another dish has to have in list is broth rice Vermicelli (Bún nước lèo). The special thing about this recipe is the broth because it always looks clear, no dregs at all. Of course, in order to have such quality demand the cook a lot of effort to finish such Vietnamese Street Food.

Tube cake in Sóc Trăng style (Bánh ống Sóc Trăng) has been the favourite Vietnamese Street Food for the Khmer people. The cake is made from grinded rice powder mixed with panda leaves, sugar and coconut milk. Back in the old times, the cake mold is made from the bamboo but nowadays people use steel tubes for sanitary purpose.

One of my best desserts from this province is Pía pastry (Bánh pía). It was originally from Chinese, but it had not been popular until Sóc Trăng distributed it around Vietnam. Pía pastry is similar with moon cake; however the cookers put the yolk and durian inside the cake. On the surface of the cake, the producers put the red mark of the producer’s address and name. If you live the Moon cake and cannot wait to the Moon Middle festival, you can buy Pía cake instead.

Its ingredients mainly are snakehead fish and knotgrass. As for the fish, you need to clean it then boil, peel the skin off, remove the bone and put the remaining meat on a plate. You may want to add a little bit of fish sauce, a slice of lemon to enhance the flavour.
