Chinese Recipe : Fish Soup with Chinese Parsley

For delicacy of flavor and aroma, the Chinese use lightly seasoned chicken stock rather than fish stock.

Ingredients:

• ½ - ¾ lb fish filets (sole, halibut, cod, sea bass, striped bass, carp, etc.), cut into 1 ½ x 1 inch slices
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 3 ¾ cups chicken stock
• 2 slices ginger root, shredded
• 1 egg white, lightly beaten
• 3 tbsps red wine vinegar
• ½ tsp pepper
• 1 ½ tbsps chopped Chinese parsley

Directions:

1. Rub the fish slices with the salt and cornstarch. Bring the stock to the boil in a pan.
2. Add the ginger, then taste and add salt if necessary. Dip the fish slices in beaten egg white, then add to the stock, a few at a time.
3. Return the stock to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes, or until the fish is tender.
4. Sprinkle the soup with the vinegar, pepper and Chinese parsley. Stir a few times then transfer to a serving tureen. Serve hot.
