Chinese-Style Fish Soup

Chinese fish soups are simple affairs that rely on using the freshest possible fish, quickly cooked in a way that enhances its taste.

Easily made in the wok, this soup is also versatile: you can supplement the fish and the broth with a wide variety of complementary ingredients and seasonings. Adding left-overs can turn this soup into a substantial one-dish meal. I add a bit of chilli oil and a touch of vinegar to give the soup real zest.
