    Step 1

    Make incisions on both sides of the fish and wash it thoroughly. Sprinkle with salt, cooking wine, and minced ginger, massage for one minute, and marinate 15 minutes to remove the fishy smell. While the fish is marinating, cut the soft tofu into small cubes.

    Heat the bottom of the pan and rub it with ginger slices to prevent the fish skin from sticking. Pour in oil, sauté the ginger slices until fragrant, then add the fish and fry until both sides are golden brown (fry over medium heat).

    Step 3

    Add boiling water until it covers half of the fish (if you're adding cabbage, the water should cover the fish completely, as I sometimes do). Add a knotted scallion, cover the pot, and cook over high heat 10 minutes.
