How to Make Chinese Fish And Lettuce Soup
- **Prepare the Fish:** In a bowl, combine soy sauce and sesame oil. Add the sliced fish and gently toss to coat. Marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- **Prep the Lettuce:** Shred the romaine lettuce and set aside.
- **Sauté the Ginger:** Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the sliced ginger and cook until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes.
- **Simmer the Broth:** Pour in the fish stock (or chicken broth) and salt. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
- **Add Fish and Lettuce:** Drain the marinade from the fish. Add the fish and shredded lettuce to the simmering broth along with the rice wine or sherry.
- **Finish the Soup:** Bring the soup back to a gentle simmer. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the lettuce is slightly wilted. Do not overcook!
- **Garnish and Serve:** Remove from heat. Stir in the sesame oil and season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
