Chả Cá Thăng Long Inspired Fish

with Dill, Mint and Sweet Chilli Rice Noodle Salad

Chả cá thăng long is the inspiration for this dish, and is Hanoi's famous fried fish with turmeric and dill. Originating from the 100+ year old Chả Cá Lã Vọng restaurant, turmeric-marinated fish is first grilled and then fried table-side. The dish is served deconstructed so it’s best enjoyed with a group of people for an entertaining DIY experience.
