This dish is a classic among classics, with its rich oil and red sauce, perfect to eat with rice!

Ingredient:

- 500g yellowfin tuna,

- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

- 1/2 tablespoon dark soy sauce

- A little sugar, a little seasoning, 1-2 scallions, a small piece of ginger sliced into strips, a little sugar, cooking oil, fresh chili or green peppercorns (optional).

Making:

Step 1: After purchasing the fish, clean off the scales and remove the dark green vein along its back. Then rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Next, make several incisions along the fish's body (or one along its back) to allow the seasoning to penetrate easily. Then, place a pan on the stove, heat it, and add cooking oil. When the oil is hot, add the fish and fry over medium heat until both sides are golden brown. Avoid flipping the fish too quickly; wait until one side is firm before flipping to prevent the skin from tearing and the fish's texture from breaking.

Step 2: After frying the fish, place a pot on the stove, add a little cooking oil, shredded ginger, and green onions, and stir-fry until fragrant. Arrange the fish in the pot, then add 1 tablespoon of cooking wine, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of dark soy sauce (for a richer color), and a little sugar to enhance the flavor. If desired, you can add fresh chili peppers or green peppercorns.

Step 3: Next, add enough boiling water to cover about half of the fish and bring to a boil over high heat. Then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 10 minutes. When the broth has thickened, increase the heat to high and cook until the sauce thickens. Add chopped scallions and turn off the heat. When serving, transfer the fish to a plate and garnish with some chopped cilantro for added flavor.
