Cooking tips

If whole yellow croaker is unavailable, substitute with cleaned mackerel or sea bass fillets—any thick-fleshed fish works well.
To check if the fish is done, gently pull the flesh at the cut area; it should flake off easily and feel tender.
The clean spiciness of doubanjiang blends beautifully with the fish’s natural oils, creating a rich, almost congee-like depth of flavor.

Recommended for
