Braised Fish

This flavorful pan-fried fish with pickled peppers is a delicious and aromatic dish that’s perfect for any meal. The fish is carefully prepared by removing the black membrane and scored to absorb the bold flavors of pickled peppers, ginger, garlic, and scallions. Pan-fried to golden perfection, the fish stays tender inside with a crispy exterior. The tangy, spicy kick from the pickled peppers and the rich umami from cooking wine create a mouthwatering sauce that coats every bite. A quick stir-fry of aromatics and a simmer in the savory broth ensures the fish is infused with deep, vibrant flavors. Simple yet packed with taste, this dish is a must-try for seafood lovers looking for a balance of heat, freshness, and satisfying texture. Serve it hot for a restaurant-quality meal at home!
