| Cha dam - a dish that sounds quite strange to many people, because this was only a "famine relief" dish of the people of Tan Nhuong village at one time. According to Ms. Phan Thi Soa, a resident of Tan Nhuong village, "Cha dam was a dish of the villagers during the time of poverty. There were a lot of dam (field crabs) in the fields, we couldn't eat them all and didn't know how to preserve them for a long time, so we thought of making cha dam, grilling them to eat instead of rice, and if we couldn't eat them all, we would stew them with salt to save food for the next day."

Then, put it on the stove to fry both sides until golden brown. This step requires meticulousness, quickly flipping the patties and adjusting the heat according to the doneness of the patties. If the heat is too low, the patties will be fishy, if the heat is too high, the patties will be dry, not chewy and crispy. Photo: Thanh Phuc |

Every day, the team supplies the market with about 150 - 200 pieces of ham. It not only creates jobs and income for the people, but also creates products with unique local characteristics. Photo: Thanh Phuc |

| If there is a stable output, we will expand to other branches, develop Cha Dam into a craft village, build Cha Dam into an OCOP product of Hung Dao commune. Currently, we have received many Tet orders from customers near and far," said Ms. Tran Thi Hau - Chairwoman of the Women's Union of Hung Dao commune. Photo: Thanh Phuc |
