Recipe for Ginger Fish Stew:

• Ingredients: One large piece of ginger (about the size of three fingers), 400g fish, 100g pork belly, a few shiitake mushrooms, and one packet of Barona Ginger Fish Stew Seasoning.
• Instructions:
  • Step 1: Marinate the fish with one packet of Barona Ginger Fish Stew Seasoning and two tablespoons of cooking oil.
  • Step 2: In a pot, layer sliced pork belly, fresh ginger, and marinated fish. Add a bit of caramel sauce, bring to a boil for 5-10 minutes, and then pour in strong green tea until the fish is submerged. Let it simmer over low heat until the fish and pork are tender.
  • Step 3: Pour in enough warm water to cover the fish (do not use cold water, as it will make the fish smell). Add the shiitake mushrooms, bring to a boil, and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat to infuse the flavors into the fish. Be careful not to stir the fish, as this can break it apart.
  • Step 4: Simmer on low heat for 30-45 minutes until the water reduces and the fish is tender and flavorful.
  • Typically, pork belly is added during cooking to release flavorful fat into the stew. If not using pork, add 2-3 tablespoons of oil for extra richness.
  • The ideal result is firm fish pieces with a strong ginger aroma and the rich flavor of pork belly. Some prefer to leave a bit of sauce for dipping with hot rice.

Storage Instructions: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. After opening, refrigerate to preserve freshness.
