Vietnamese Eggplant & Tomato Soup (Canh Cà Bung) is a classic Northern Vietnamese dish. It's so popular because of the use of cheap, accessible ingredients and surprisingly easy yet flavourful. The traditional Canh Cà Bung uses pork, in this vegan version it is replaced by king oyster mushroom. The rest of the soup uses traditional ingredients: eggplants, tomatoes, fried tofu and perilla leaves.
