How to make The Easiest Vietnamese Fish Recipe (Coconut Braised Fish)

Hello there! Lately, I've been quite excited about using coconut water in my cooking. In my previous video, I braised pork with coconut water. This time, I'm going to experiment with basa fish (catfish). Braised fish, boiled vegetables, and steamed rice are a classic combination in everyday Vietnamese home cooking. But today, I'm going to put a little creative spin on this braised fish. RECIPE Serves: 3–4 1.
