Cooking tips

  • You can use thawed frozen fish instead of fresh fish—still delivers excellent flavor.
  • Make deep cuts into the fish so that the thick flesh cooks evenly and absorbs the marinade well during simmering.
  • For a more authentic and deeper traditional Chinese flavor, add a star anise pod while boiling the sauce.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking an elegant dish for special occasions or parents' birthdays.
  • Those wanting to try something different and impressive beyond grilled or braised fish dishes.
