Braised Fish in Rice Wine

This savory dried yellow fish recipe is a delicious twist on a traditional dish, bursting with bold flavors and tender, flaky fish. Salt-cured dried yellow fish is soaked to perfection, then steamed with liquor for a rich depth of taste. Fragrant garlic, ginger, and chili are sautéed in hot oil to create an aromatic base, while cooking wine enhances the umami notes. The fish is gently simmered until tender, then finished with a touch of soy sauce for a perfectly balanced dish. The key is in the careful cooking process—stirring constantly ensures the fish stays moist without sticking. With its irresistible aroma and spicy, savory taste, this dish is a standout meal that pairs wonderfully with steamed rice. A must-try for seafood lovers looking for a bold and satisfying flavor experience!
