How to make dried goby fish and chrysanthemum greens soup
Making dried goby fish and chrysanthemum greens soup isn’t too complicated, but to maintain its refreshing sweetness and prevent the fish from falling apart, you should follow these steps:
Step 1: Prepare the dried goby fish
- Clean the dried goby fish, remove the gills and entrails to eliminate the natural fishy smell.
- Marinate the fish with 3 minced shallot bulbs, 1 teaspoon of fish sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder.
- Mix well and let the fish rest for about 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 2: Prepare the chrysanthemum greens
- Remove the roots and any old, wilted, or insect-eaten leaves.
- Gently rinse under running water to keep them fresh, then drain in a clean colander.
Step 3: Cook the dried goby fish and chrysanthemum greens soup
- Place a deep pan or non-stick pot on the stove and heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil.
- Add 5 crushed shallot bulbs and sauté until fragrant to create a flavorful base for the broth.
- Add the marinated dried goby fish, stirring gently to firm up the fish without breaking it.
- Pour in about 500ml of filtered water, turn the heat up to bring the water to a quick boil.
- When the water boils, add the chrysanthemum greens and cook for about 5 minutes until they are just done and a vibrant green.
- Season with 1/2 teaspoon of MSG, adjust to taste, and then turn off the heat.
- Ladle the soup into a bowl, sprinkle with a little ground pepper to enhance the aroma.
- Serve hot to fully enjoy the refreshing sweetness of the fish and greens.
How to choose ingredients for dried goby fish and chrysanthemum greens soup
For a delicious and nutrient-rich soup, choosing fresh, clean ingredients is key. Here are some tips to help you buy high-quality dried goby fish and chrysanthemum greens:
How to choose fresh dried goby fish
To ensure a delicious soup, you should prioritize fresh dried goby fish that has been properly preserved:
- Choose fish that are still alive, swimming actively, with bright colors and clear eyes.
- The body of the fish should be shiny with small pink veins running along its sides—a sign that the fish was recently caught.
- Fresh fish will have a natural layer of mucus, pink gills, and will sink when placed in water.
- Avoid buying fish that swim weakly, have bloated bodies, scales that fall off easily, cloudy or sunken eyes, soft flesh, a swollen belly, or a strange odor.
How to choose fresh chrysanthemum greens
Good, standard chrysanthemum greens will help the soup maintain its characteristic aroma and mild sweetness. Therefore, keep the following points in mind when buying:
- Choose bunches of chrysanthemum greens that are dark green, fresh, and not bruised, wilted, or heavily bitten by insects.
- You can check by touching or gently squeezing the stems. If they feel too hard, they are old and will taste bitter. Conversely, soft, young stems will be sweeter and more fragrant.
