The ingredients used in Canh Chua Tôm are deeply rooted in Vietnamese cuisine and reflect the country’s history and geography. The use of tamarind, for example, is a nod to Vietnam’s long history of trading with other Southeast Asian countries. Tamarind was introduced to Vietnam by Indian traders during the Champa Kingdom, which lasted from the 7th to the 19th century.
