Shunde Braised Fish
Overview
Some time ago, I watched a program about Shunde cuisine, and one of the dishes left a deep impression on me. The name of this dish is Shunde Braised Fish. As we all know, Shunde is a land of plenty, and people there must have fish in every meal. This eating habit has been ingrained in their bones. However, an authentic Shunde young man married a girl from northern Guangdong. The girl who grew up in the interior did not like to eat fish, but liked to eat meat. How to reconcile the tastes of a family? The smart young man came up with a way to get the best of both worlds. He added roasted meat and local chicken to the traditional braised fish, which not only allowed the aroma of roasted pork and local chicken to cover up the fishy smell, but also improved the taste of the fish. This approach seems simple, but it reflects a husband's love for his wife. This is also the result of this warm and tender Shunde Braised Fish. Today I am going to make a dish like this for my family to try. Although my family is not picky about food, it is also my interest to delve into new dishes. The most important thing is that my family enjoys eating! I added shiitake mushrooms to the dish to make it more fragrant. I replaced the native chicken with chicken legs, and it was full of meat! This is a favorite for children who don’t like sucking bones. I love to eat fish, and the fish pieces soaked in chicken juice are my favorite. They are the best when served with rice.

You can add hot or cold water, but hot water can shorten the stewing time.
