Souper #SundaySupper: Szechuan Fish Soup

Cough..cough…sniff…sniff…. I was down with a cold last week and completely behind my schedule. I realized that time is so important, and health is even more precious. So, between finals week and work, I tried so hard to catch up with blogging and family. Boy, it was tough. Phew. For a week long, I only had fish porridge and soup for lunch and dinner. Not bad, actually. But, I really missed something fried. I mean, who does not like fried food? So, I’ve been eyeing this recipe for such a long time. I actually love this menu so much but never had guts to make it at home. So, when I saw posting for Sunday Supper for something soupy, I was sold! This is just a perfect time to try out something new and I thought I’d give this a try. I completely followed the recipe from Angie since I was still having a bit cold and really craved this, but I can tell you the result is phenomenal. It has a tingling numbness in your tongue. Addictive!

Ingredients

800-1000 g Fish fillets (preferably river or lake fish)

Condiments

250-300 g Cooking oil

3 tbsp Hot bean sauce

1 chunk Ginger root, sliced

8 clove Garlic, sliced

3 stalk Scallion

2 handful Sichuan peppercorns

1 rice bowl Sichuan dried chilli

2/3 tbsp Chilli flakes

2 tbsp Jiafan rice wine

2/3 tbsp Light soya sauce

700-800 ml Stock

1/3 tsp Pepper powder

½ tsp Salt

1 tsp Sugar

Chicken powder to taste

Marinade

1 Egg white

2/3 tsp Salt

1 tbsp Jiafan rice wine

2 tbsp Cornstarch

Salad Base

½ head Iceberg

1 rice bowl Black fungus, soaked in water

150 g Cucumber, sliced

Instructions

Rinse the fish fillets and cut each into 3 pieces. Dry the fish well with a clean kitchen cloth. Combine the fish with the marinade in a large bowl and set aside for about 30 minutes. Prepare the salad base in a bowl.

Heat up some oil in a wok or heavy skillet and slowly stir in the marinated fish. Cook until fish just starts to turn white, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Pour off the frying oil, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the pan. Add in hot bean sauce and stir until fragrant. Stir in ginger, garlic, half scallion sections, chilli flakes, half of each Sichuan peppercorns and dried chilli. Stir over the medium heat until their fragrance is fully released. Drizzle in rice wine and light soya sauce. Continue stirring. Pour in stock, adjusting the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Season it with pepper, salt, chicken powder and white sugar. Return fish to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and pour the fish stew into the prepared bowl with salad.

Heat up 200 grams of oil in another pan. Add in another half peppercorns and dried chilli. Stir till fragrant over the slow heat. Pour over the fish and garnish with the curled, drained spring onions or coriander leaves.
