I feel that the fish in the pot that I made is closer to [Boiled and slippery].
The basic process is simple and straightforward: fillet fish fillets-sizing the flavor of the fish fillets-stir-fry garnishes-boiled fish fillets-"boiled" with refined spice oil.

Although it looks like a spicy dish, the most outstanding thing is not its spiciness, but its fragrance! It is the kind of sincere fragrance, fish fragrance, vegetable fragrance, and seasoning fragrance, but there are several fragrances in a pot, not chaotic, but different tastes, distinct levels, you are you, I am me, each has its own For each taste, the fish fillets are fresh and tender, the vegetables are rich in color while taking into account nutrition, and finally the hot oil refined with various spices is "Bao La~~~" so much! Then there is a surprise that is vivid and scented, the finishing touch...

Although it was poured with hot oil, it tasted not greasy at all, so the word "light" is not an exaggeration. "
