What is cha ca? A noodle, I would venture.

It is a fish dish; see the recipe in the accompanying article, found here: https://www.nytimes.com/1994/05/04/garden/vietnam-a-taste-trip-from-north-to-south.html

Add some Thai chilli to give it some heat. Great in a Banh Mi.
Gordeaux
This sauce is ubiquitous in Viet Nam. It goes great with virtually any seafood, especially grilled seafood on rice. I use much more hot pepper and garlic than this recipe suggests, so my Nuoc Cham is Philly style.
