Instructions
1
Fry fish head until golden
Season fish head with salt. Pan-fry in oil 4 min per side until golden. Remove.
2
Simmer to milky white(30 min)
Add ginger to the same pot, fry 30 sec. Return fish head, add 1.5L boiling water (BOILING — key for white broth). Add Shaoxing wine. Boil hard 15 min — the rapid boiling emulsifies the fats, turning the broth milky white. Add tofu, simmer 10 more min. The broth should be opaque like milk.
Pro Tips for Western Kitchens
Adding BOILING water (not cold) and maintaining a HARD boil are the two secrets to milky white fish broth. No cream needed.
