Braised Cod Fillet with Tofu and Assorted Mushrooms

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat cod fillet pieces dry with paper towels. Lightly season with salt and white pepper.

2. 2

   Heat cooking oil in a wok or claypot over medium-high heat. Pan-fry the cod fillet pieces for 1-2 minutes per side until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.

3. 3

   In the same wok/claypot, add ginger slices and stir-fry until fragrant. Add shiitake mushrooms and oyster mushrooms, stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the tofu cubes, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer, then cover and braise for 5-7 minutes over medium-low heat.

5. 5

   Gently add the pan-fried cod fillet pieces back into the claypot. Pour in the cornstarch slurry and stir gently until the sauce thickens. Avoid over-stirring to prevent breaking the fish.

6. 6

   Garnish with chopped scallions and serve hot.
