Ingredients for Braised Snakehead Fish Cake For 4 people

Snakehead fish meat 300 gr Minced garlic 1 tablespoon Red chili 4 pieces Chili powder 1/2 tablespoon Cooking oil 4 tablespoons Fish sauce 2 tablespoons Common spices a little (pepper/ seasoning powder/ sugar)

How to choose fresh and delicious snakehead fish

  • To buy fresh snakehead fish meat, choose fish with clear eyes, silvery-white body, and thick flesh for easy scraping of the meat.
  • Fresh and delicious snakehead fish has a natural smell of river water, the flesh is clear, white interspersed with light pink, with red veins, and when scraped, the flesh has a natural gloss.
  • Good fish meat often has elasticity; when lifted, it feels firm and does not fall apart.
  • Avoid buying fish with a fishy, foul smell, strange odors, or fish meat that is dull in color or pale green.
  • You should buy whole fish and ask the seller to scrape the meat and bring it home to grind for making fish cake, avoiding the situation of buying low-quality fish cake.

  • Braised Fish Cake

    Prepare a clay pot to braise the fish, add the oil used to fry the fish earlier, and heat it again over medium heat. Then add 2 tablespoons of sugar to caramelize, and at this point, reduce the heat to low and stir continuously for the sugar to dissolve.

    When the sugar has dissolved, is bubbling with tiny bubbles, and has turned a light brown color, turn off the heat and continue stirring until the caramel sauce thickens.

    Tip: To save time, you can either make your own caramel sauce or buy pre-made caramel sauce available at stores TasteVN.

    Next, add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, turn on the heat to sauté until fragrant and golden, then add 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, stirring well. After that, add the fried fish cake into the pot, simmer over low heat.

    Then season with sugar and fish sauce to suit your family’s taste and stir well for the fish cake to absorb the seasoning.

    Finally, sprinkle a little pepper, chopped green onions, and 4 red chili peppers on top of the braised fish cake and simmer for another 5 minutes to finish.
