Stewed Spanish mackerel with cabbage
The method of stewing Spanish mackerel with pakchoi was passed down by my grandma. Although I followed grandma's method, I always felt that the taste was still worse. Green leafy vegetables complement the protein in fish and are very comprehensive in nutrition, less greasy and more light. The stewed fish soup is used to complement rice and is even more delicious. I hope everyone will support me and vote for me! Thank you!

    1. If you like meat, add a bit more pork belly; lightly stir-fry it before stewing together. 2. Chinese chives play an excellent seasoning role in sea fish and are indispensable. Sesame oil is also essential for final seasoning; the taste will be significantly different without them.
