Indulge in this exquisite Sichuan-style fish dish, combining tender fish slices, plump shrimp, and bouncy fish balls in a rich, aromatic broth. The secret lies in marinating the fish with egg whites, cooking wine, and starch for an ultra-silky texture, then quickly cooking it to perfection—removing it just as it turns white for melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. A fragrant oil infused with fiery red peppers and numbing Sichuan peppercorns is poured over the dish, adding a bold, spicy kick. The fish bone broth, simmered with fresh vegetables, enhances the umami depth, while a final garnish of cilantro brightens every bite. Perfect for spice lovers, this dish balances heat, savoriness, and freshness in every luxurious spoonful. Serve hot for a restaurant-worthy meal at home!
