Vietnamese Katok Soup with Scrimp and Pork recipe (Canh Rau Ngot)


One of popular Vietnamese Soup recipes is Katok Soup with scrimp and pork. Katuk also known as star gooseberry, or sweet leaf, is a shrub grown in some tropical regions as a leaf vegetable. It is one of the most popular leaf vegetables in South Asia and Southeast Asia and is notable for high yields and palatability. The shoot tips have been sold as tropical asparagus. In Vietnam, the locals cook it with crab meat, minced pork or dried shrimp to make soup.
