How to Make Classic Tomato Fish Fillet Soup

Tomato Fish Fillet Soup is a beloved dish, loved for its vibrant color, fresh taste, and nutritional balance. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to guide you.

Ingredients: 2 ripe tomatoes (blanched and diced), 300g white fish fillets (like cod or tilapia, sliced into thin pieces), 1 egg white (for marinating), 2 garlic cloves (minced), ginger shreds, 1 green onion (chopped), 1 tbsp cooking wine, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp white pepper, starch, and vegetable oil.

Steps:

1. Prepare the fish: Rinse fish fillets, pat dry, and marinate with egg white, 1/2 tsp salt, and starch for 15 minutes to tenderize.

2. Cook tomatoes: Heat oil in a pot, sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add diced tomatoes, stir-fry until softened, then pour in 500ml water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes to develop flavor.

3. Cook the fish: Gently slide fish slices into the boiling soup. Let them cook for 2–3 minutes until opaque (avoid overcooking to keep them tender).
