TIẾT CANH

About this Dish

TIẾT CANH is the raw blood of pigs or sometimes ducks or geese mixed with diluted fish sauce to make it coagulate into a cool, silky pudding. It’s topped with boiled chopped viscera, Thai basil, mint, and peanuts for an added crunch. Given the risks of consuming raw blood, fewer and fewer Vietnamese people consume this. Today's TIẾT CANH is also made by replacing blood with gelatin and beetroot color.
