Braised Fish with Radish

Braised Fish with Radish

This crispy fried fish with radish stew is a flavorful and comforting dish that combines tender fish with the subtle sweetness of red radish. The fish is marinated with pepper, salt, and cooking wine for depth of flavor, then coated in flour and fried to golden perfection. Aromatic ginger, garlic, and spicy chili peppers are stir-fried to create a fragrant base, while the addition of light soy sauce and a splash of vinegar enhances the savory richness. The radish adds a refreshing crunch, softening beautifully as it simmers in the broth. Finished with fresh coriander for a bright, herbal note, this dish is a delicious balance of textures and tastes—crispy, spicy, and hearty. Perfect with steamed rice, it’s a satisfying meal that brings warmth to any table.
