  1. Blanch fish for about 5 minutes in boiling stock, then remove from heat and drain, keeping both the stock and the fish.

  3. Bring to the boil again. Skim the top and season with fish sauce and sugar. Place the fish in a large soup bowl, ladle the vegetable stock in and garnish with saw-leaf herb and rice paddy herb.
  4. Serve hot with steamed rice or rice vermicelli.

Helpful hints:
*Rice paddy: A very small, rounded, pale green leaves that sprout at intervals along the stem, and a sharp, citrus flavor. It is used as a garnish for chicken curry and sour fish sauce.

*Saw-leaf herb: This leaf, which smells like coriander, is part of the standard garnish of fresh herbs that are served on the table with most Vietnamese meals. It has a long, serrated green leaf. Also known as’ long coriander.
