Tomato Sour Fish Slice Soup

Ingredients

• 250g grass carp fillets
• 1 tomato
• 1 enoki mushrooms
• 6 pickled chili peppers
• 2 garlic
• as needed dried red chili peppers
• 1 white sesame seeds
• 1 scallion

Instructions

1. Prepare all the ingredients as shown.
2. Clean the fish slices with 1 tsp flour and water, rubbing to remove slime and fishiness (this step is crucial). Peel and dice the tomato. Marinate the fish slices with 1 tbsp cooking wine, a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper, 1 tbsp cornstarch, and 1 tbsp cooking oil. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes to absorb the base flavors.
3. Heat oil in a pot. Sauté garlic slices and pickled chilies until fragrant. Add the diced tomato and cook until soft and juicy. Pour in a large bowl of water and bring to a boil. Season with salt, pepper, and 2 tbsp tomato sauce. Stir well. Add enoki mushrooms and cook until done, then spread them at the bottom of a serving bowl. Slide the fish slices into the soup one by one and cook for about 30 seconds until just done. Pour the fish and broth into the bowl. Top with dried red chili segments, sesame seeds, and scallions. Pour hot oil over the top — the sizzle is amazing! Done!
4. Delicious and appetizing!
5. The fish slices are silky and tender.
6. The broth is tangy and sweet.
