How to Make Asian Fish Stock
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large (8-quart) stockpot over medium heat. Add 2 cups chopped onions, 2 cups chopped celery, 1/4 cup minced ginger, and 2-3 serrano peppers, finely minced (adjust to your spice preference). Sauté until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add 4 cups fish bones (ask your local fishmonger to save them for you!), and sweat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add 8 cups water, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup mirin, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 4 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 teaspoon black peppercorns. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, partially cover, and simmer gently for 1 hour.
- Strain the stock through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth, discarding the solids.
- Allow the stock to cool completely before refrigerating or freezing. For convenient portioning, freeze in ice cube trays and store the cubes in double zip-lock bags for up to 3 months.
