  1. Blanch cod in boiling water for 2 minutes, then rinse with cold water and drain.
  2. Prepare the marinade and slice green chilies diagonally.
  3. Add cod, marinade, and water to a wok and simmer; finish by adding green chilies at the end.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Avoid stirring the cod too often during simmering, as this can cause the flesh to break apart—let the broth gently coat the fish instead.
  • Adding a small amount of ginger extract or ginger syrup to fish stews helps eliminate fishiness and enhances flavor significantly.
