- Pay attention to selecting fresh and delicious Bong dien dien flowers and Bong sung flowers.

- When selecting tamarind leaves, buyers should opt for young leaves. If unavailable, ripe tamarinds can be used as a substitute.

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients

- Firstly, remove the innards of the Linh Fish and wash it thoroughly, then place it in a colander to drain.

Step 2: Prepare the broth

- After the bone marrow has been thoroughly washed, bring it to a boil to skim off any impurities. Then, add about 2 liters of water to boil for broth. Pay attention to reduce heat once the water is boiling to prevent overflowing.

Step 3: Marinate the Linh Fish

- Marinate the prepared Linh Fish with a teaspoon of minced garlic, then add seasoning powder, pepper, and sugar. Mix well with gloves to allow the seasoning to penetrate the fish, then refrigerate in a cool compartment.

Step 4: Completion

- While waiting for the broth, clean and thinly slice the fat, then fry in a hot pan until golden brown. Once the fat renders, separate the cracklings. Next, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, then add coriander, and young tamarind leaves to sauté until aromatic.

- Now, add the prepared broth and bring it to a boil. Season to taste and add sliced chili peppers for extra flavor. If you prefer spicy Linh Fish Hotpot, you can add a bit more chili.
