Fish Head and Tofu Soup

Step 1

Clean the fish head and pat dry. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes. Slice the ginger and chop the green onions into 2-inch pieces.

Step 2

Heat 2 tbsp cooking oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the fish head and sear until golden on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 3

Add the 4 ginger slices and 6 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, until the broth turns milky white.

Step 4

Add the tofu cubes and 4 red dates. Simmer for another 10 minutes, until the tofu is heated through and the dates are plump.

Step 5

Season with 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste). Stir in the green onions and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Serve hot.
