This was the main dish for our Vietnomnom Cooking class and it is a fantastic method to cook fish that will change your Thermomix life! You will have access to both this recipe and the ebook version of the whole class menu (19 recipes) when you join our Insider Club.

This salad, ends up also supplying a delicious hot and sour broth (generally known as canh chua in Vietnam) that I absolutely cannot get enough of. It is very satisfying and really with this one recipe here (which is sort of 3 recipes I guess) you have a fantastic meal for a large number of people or halve it and have leftovers. We of course made this for a large group in the class so we upped everything, which is also really easy to do!
