Tofu and Fish in Hot Pot

Tofu and Fish in Hot Pot

This delicious pan-fried fish with tofu and aromatic spices is a flavorful dish that combines tender fish, savory tofu, and a fragrant sauce. The fish is marinated with scallions, ginger, lemon, and soy sauce for a zesty, umami-rich base, then pan-fried to golden perfection for a crispy exterior. Aromatic star anise and cinnamon infuse depth into the sauce, while pre-fried tofu soaks up the savory blend of oyster sauce, soy sauce, and spices. Vibrant green and red peppers add a fresh, slightly spicy finish. Perfectly balanced with a hint of sweetness and tang, this dish is a satisfying meal that’s easy to prepare yet packed with complex flavors. Serve it hot for a comforting, restaurant-quality experience at home!
