Instead of oyster sauce, fish sauce can be used as well, but minced pork can be combined with chopped shrimp or chicken[2] or substituted with crumbled tofu or ground plant-based meat for a vegan version that replaces fish sauce with Hoisin sauce.[4] The eggplant can also be smoked on charcoal or wood pellets in a barbecue or broiled in the oven. Chha trob is served with steamed rice and sometimes also garnished with coriander leaves.[3]
