Boiled river fish with water fern

Overview

The villagers in the mountains would bring some chili peppers with them when they went to work in the mountains. At noon, they would go to the river to catch some small river fish, pick some wild tomatoes, water bracken, and wood ginger seeds. They would make a fire by the river and cook a pot of fish soup with wild tomatoes, water bracken, peppers, and wood ginger seeds to complete a simple meal. This freshly made fish soup tastes delicious. Water bracken generally grows by rivers, swamps, ditches, and paddy fields. Generally, bracken on mountains often has a bitter taste. It needs to be boiled first and then soaked in changing water. It can only be eaten after three to four days. Water bracken does not need to be boiled and soaked. You only need to remove the old ones, then wash them, and you can fry them directly. Wooden ginger seeds are also called wild pepper. They are fragrant and have the effect of removing mutton and smell, improving flavor and freshness.
