Braised Spanish Mackerel

Overview

I have never passed on recipes, but when I see friends passing them on, I want to try it. Let’s make fish first. This braised recipe is the most commonly eaten in my family, and it is also the most popular dish. It tastes fresh and salty, and the fish meat is tender. The leftover rice with fish soup after eating the fish is delicious. Children like it, and the method is simple. Friends, try it when you have time.

  9. Let it cook for about 5 or 6 minutes. Open the lid and have a look. Taste the taste. If it feels bland, you can add a small amount of salt. I usually don't add salt. Gently stir the pot without breaking the fish, cover the pot and continue cooking.
