Vietnamese beef and pickled mustard greens soup (canh dưa bò) is a traditional soup from Northern Vietnam. This soup is in the daily rotation of many families due to its simple ingredients and easy preparation method.
Pickled mustard greens (known as dưa cải, dưa chua, or cải chua in Vietnamese) have a tangy, salty flavor with a slightly pungent aroma that some may consider an acquired taste.
