How to Make Easy Sour Fish Soup with Pickled Mustard Greens

How to make easy sour fish soup with pickled mustard greens – a rustic comfort food recipe with tender fish, sour greens and a light, tangy broth that’s perfect with plain rice.

Fresh fish pieces are cleaned, briefly fried or blanched, then simmered in a clear broth with Vietnamese-style pickled mustard greens (salted sour greens), tomato and simple seasoning. The broth turns lightly sour and savory, the fish stays soft, and the pickled greens add a refreshing bite in every spoonful.

This homestyle soup is often made with:
fresh fish (such as river fish, cleaned and cut into pieces)
pickled mustard greens (Vietnamese salted sour greens)
fresh tomato (wedges)
scallions and/or herbs (optional, for garnish)
fish sauce
seasoning powder and salt
sugar (optional, for balance)
MSG (optional)
water
cooking oil (if you fry the fish first)

The key is simple: clean the fish well, don’t overcook it so it stays tender, and add the pickled mustard greens at the right time so the broth is sour and flavorful without turning too salty.

Nothing fancy – just down-to-earth home cooking with a pot of sour fish soup and pickled greens, served hot with a bowl of plain rice and other rustic dishes on the table.
