Technique to learn

Gentle Broth Poaching

Simmering delicate proteins in an aromatic sour broth at sub-boiling temperatures to keep them silky and moist.

Instructions

Step 1: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt.
Step 2: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or deep skillet over medium heat.

Step 3: Add sliced garlic, julienned ginger, and red chili paste, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4: Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 4-5 minutes until soft and breaking down into a paste.

Step 5: Pour in the chicken broth and white rice vinegar, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 6: Carefully slide the fish pieces into the bubbling broth, lower the heat, cover, and simmer gently for 5 minutes until the fish is cooked through.

Step 7: Scatter fresh scallions over the top and serve hot with steamed jasmine rice.

Cooking tips

Do not stir vigorously after adding the fish fillets to prevent breaking the delicate tender meat.
Adjust the white rice vinegar to control the sour tartness of the stew broth.
Original home-cooking adaptation inspired by Chinese; regional versions vary.
