Canh


Oh man, after 3 consecutive days of 12 hour shifts, I was dreaming canh yesterday.  This morning after I took a shower and dragged myself to the kitchen for some coffee and some sort of biscuit, my mom had rice with canh waiting…drool.  I grabbed a bowl right away and plowed my way faster than I should have.  For those not in the know, canh is a light, lemony vegetable broth made from leafy greens.  You pour that sucker over your rice, add any kind of meat and the left over lefty greens on top and chow down.  I finished off with a few slices of watermelon.  Perfect meal.

Half assed recipe:

Water, any flavorful leafy greens (like bok choy, spinach, cabbage, etc.)

Boil until greens are wilted and broth takes on color.

Separate broth and greens, add lemon juice and salt to broth until desired taste.

Note: for sweet and sour canh, use tamirand powder/paste, keep the greens in and add spam and pineapple.
