👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Cut the fish fillets into bite-sized pieces. Marinate with rice wine, salt, and white pepper for about 10 minutes.
💡 Conseils de pro: Marinating helps to remove any fishy odor and tenderize the fish. - 2
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add minced ginger and garlic, sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
💡 Conseils de pro: Ensure the heat is not too high to prevent burning the aromatics. - 3
Add the chopped pickled mustard greens and diced tomatoes. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.
💡 Conseils de pro: If using fermented chili paste (Doubanjiang), add it now and stir-fry for another minute. - 4
Pour in the chicken or fish stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
💡 Conseils de pro: Using stock instead of water adds more depth of flavor to the soup. - 5
Add the marinated fish pieces to the simmering broth. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and opaque. Avoid overcooking to keep the fish tender.
💡 Conseils de pro: Gently place the fish pieces to prevent them from breaking apart. - 6
Stir in the sliced green chilies and ground Sichuan peppercorns. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.
💡 Conseils de pro: Sichuan peppercorns provide a unique tingling sensation, characteristic of Guizhou cuisine. - 7
Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The soup should have a balanced sour, spicy, and savory taste.
💡 Conseils de pro: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. The sourness can be adjusted by adding a splash of rice vinegar if desired. - 8
Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish generously with fresh cilantro and sliced scallions before serving hot.
💡 Conseils de pro: This soup is best enjoyed immediately while hot.
