Yellow duck tofu soup

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   Drain the yellow catfish bought from the market and set aside.

   

2. 02

   Step 2

   Cut the tofu into cubes and place them on a plate.

   

3. 03

   Step 3

   Prepare chopped scallions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, and cilantro.

   

4. 04

   Step 4

   Heat oil in a pan and fry the fish, adding ginger slices at the same time to remove the fishy smell.

   

5. 05

   Step 5

   Pan-fry the fish until both sides are slightly golden brown, then add chili peppers and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add enough water to cover the fish. (Do not overcook the fish, otherwise the flavor will be affected and it will be difficult to cook the milky white broth.)

   Step 6

   Add tofu after the soup boils, and continue simmering for about 15 minutes. If you need to add broth during this time, you can only use boiling water (this is one of the key points to ensure the soup is delicious).

   Step 7

   Add salt (this is crucial for the broth to turn milky white, so be sure to add salt last) and crushed garlic cloves 2 minutes before the broth is done. Finally, add cilantro, plate, and sprinkle with chopped scallions.
