Guizhou Hot and Sour Fish Stew

A gift from Guizhou[pronounced: gway·jow] province, a place that naturally lacks salt. Guizhou people have had to devise innovative ways to maintain their sodium levels and create delicious dishes without the assistance of salt. It would be considered a mission impossible for any other cuisine, but the people of Guizhou have accomplished it splendidly. One of their secrets lies in the creation of sour stocks, with the tomato sour stock, known as the red stock, standing out the most. They blend cherry tomatoes with ginger, garlic, and chilies, allowing it to age for a minimum of 30 days. The resulting stock is tangy and aromatic, pairing excellently with fish and seafood.
This dish introduced Guizhou cuisine to the world—a cuisine that may not be as popular as Sichuan or Cantonese but is brimming with distinctive techniques and explosive flavours. In our Guizhou hot and sour fish stew, we faithfully follow the traditional method of crafting our own red stock. We serve it with basa fish, seasonal vegetables, and wood ear mushrooms. It is light in calories yet abundant in flavours—a must-try. If you wish to learn more about Guizhou Cuisine, please read our blog post by clicking the link below.
