Here is a no-frills, warm bowl of nutritious, clear soup. It is very easy to prepare. It is very filling. Perfect for those chilly nights when we crave for something simple and something comforting.
5 C chicken broth
1 block soft tofu, cubed
350 gms fish fillet
100 gms mustard leaves
2 T Chinese cooking wine
salt and pepper to taste
sesame oil, optional
1. Marinate the fish fillet in some salt and pepper and dust with cornstarch.
2. Bring the broth to a boil. Add the Chinese cooking wine. When it boils again, add the fish fillet pieces. Let the meat boil for a while until just cooked. Add the tofu. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with sesame oil just before serving.
See? Simple to prepare, yet the hot soup tastes clear and refreshing.
Can you tell I'm feeling melancholic today? I promised myself that I am not going to rant and complain in this food blog, so I am restraining myself. Why?
Because I always believe that food we serve our family and friends should always be cooked with love. Therefore food blogs should "feel good" as well. There is a saying here that dishes turn out delicious if the cook is happy. And it turns not-so-good if the mood of the cook is sour. Do you believe that?
Besides, happiness is a choice. I choose to be happy because there are a lot of reasons to be happy about. :)

Dishes turn out delicious if the cook is happy ? I believe so and no wonder my dishes are quite yummy (blushed)
this is a interesting recipe, you know you almost never see a recipe that combine this two elements, tofu and fish, but sound good so good.
