Fish Soup with Asian Pear Recipe
Ingredients
- Oily, firm-flesh whole fish, scaled and guts removed, cleaned thorougly; Chinese cooking wine; green onions; ginger; black fungus; 4-6 thin slices of peeled Asian pear; gojiberries, re-hydrated in water or Chinese cooking wine before use
Directions
- Pan fry the fish on both sides (with ginger and green onions) to release some flavors of the fish. Before dishing out the fish and setting aside, drizzle some Chinese cooking wine along the edge of the wok to sizzle more aroma and flavor. Turn off heat, set aside. Add ginger, green onion, black fungus, pear slices and whole fish into a deep pot, add in enough water to immerse the fish and start boiling at low-medium heat. When boiling, turn down heat to low heat, add in gojiberries and allow it to simmer for about 30 minutes till everything is cooked. Salt to taste. (Note: Usually, we just drink the soup and don't eat the fish since all the good flavor and taste of the fish have gone into the soup)
