Introduction

Step 1
【Preparation】Thoroughly clean the fresh fish, scrubbing off blood stains and surface slime to reduce fishiness. Drain well after washing.

Step 4
【Preparation】Mince the garlic; cut the soft tofu into small cubes; cut the cilantro into 2cm pieces.
Step 5
【Stir-fried Fish Fillets with Garlic】Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine 1 tbsp oyster sauce, light soy sauce, salt, chicken powder, sugar, white pepper, cornstarch, and some water. Mix well.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
The thickness of the fish fillets should be consistent; do not slice too thin, otherwise, they will easily break during blanching and stir-frying. 💡
Do not use cooking wine for marinating the fish; use rice wine to remove fishiness while keeping the aroma clean. Avoid over-seasoning to maintain the fish's natural freshness. ⚠️
You must use boiling water for the fish soup and keep it boiling on high heat; the intense emulsification of fish fat and protein is the secret to a rich, milky broth. 🔥
Cilantro's aroma is volatile; add it at the very last moment before serving, and let the residual heat bloom the flavor after turning off the stove. 🌿
