I attempted to use fish fillets in my Fish in Ginger Soup Recipe because I wanted to enjoy the fish without having to bother about removing the fish bones. You may use entire fish in this recipe as long as it has been gutted and cleaned. The reality is that it adds more flavor to the soup than utilizing fish fillets.

Here's a basic recipe for preparing Fish in Ginger Soup:

Ingredients:

- 2 fish fillets (about 6-8 ounces each) of your choice, such as snapper, sea bass, or tilapia

- 1-2 inches of fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced into matchsticks

- 4-5 cups water or fish stock

- 2-3 green onions (scallions), chopped

- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced

- 1-2 red chili peppers, sliced (optional, for heat)

- 1-2 tablespoons light soy sauce

- Salt and white pepper to taste

- Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish (optional)

- Cooked jasmine rice, for serving

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fish:

   - If the fish fillets have skin on them, you can choose whether to remove it or leave it on. Rinse the fish and wipe it dry with paper towels.

2. Prepare the Ginger Broth:

   - Bring the water or fish stock to a boil in a big saucepan.

   - Allow the sliced ginger to simmer in the boiling liquid for 5-10 minutes. The stronger the ginger taste, the longer you cook it.

3. Add Aromatics:

   - To the saucepan, add the minced garlic, chopped green onions, and sliced red chili peppers (if using). Simmer for another 2-3 minutes.

4. Season the Broth:

   - To taste, season the soup with light soy sauce, salt, and white pepper. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Cook the Fish:

   - Add the fish fillets to the boiling stock with care. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. The cooking time will be determined by the thickness of the fish fillets. When the flesh peels easily and is opaque, they are done.

6. Garnish and Serve:

   - Remove the saucepan from the heat once the fish is done.

   - Garnish the Fish in Ginger Soup with fresh cilantro leaves to add taste and color.

7. Serve Hot:

   - Serve the Fish in Ginger Soup with cooked jasmine rice on the side. When serving, ladle some of the ginger broth over the fish and rice.

   - Enjoy your homemade Fish in Ginger Soup!
