Vietnamese people usually cook their hot & sour soup (canh chua) with fish, okra, bean sprouts, tomatoes, alocasia odora (bac ha) and other ingredients.

This is our version of hot and sour soup. Not the same as the one you get from a Chinese take out place.

Looks delish...for me, I would rather have shrimp. I'm not that fond of fish.
Tinng, are you sure that it's Alocasia odora? As far as I know none of the parts of this elephant ear is edible. We have Colocasia esculenta (taro) and do eat the leaves after removing the toxins. The bulb/tuber is great simmered in coconut milk as well as in soups.
