Cha ca

Cha ca is a famous turmeric, dill and fish dish from Hanoi, Vietnam. In Hanoi there’s a street named Cha ca after the dish, its that infamous. The original restaurant that famously first served cha ca to French colonial soldiers during the 19th century, is still operating. Some writers suggest that this original Cha ca restaurant also housed and fed members of the colonial resistance.

We love using Adam Jame’s (aka Rough Rice) Hemp and Buckwheat ‘soy’ sauce as a fantastic fish sauce and shrimp paste replacement. Its funky and musky ~
