Red Lantern Sichuan Fish Stew
Red Lantern Sichuan Fish Stew is a vibrant and aromatic dish showcasing the intense flavors of Sichuan cuisine, renowned for its bold seasoning and unique numbing spice known as 'mala'. The interplay of fiery dried chili peppers and tongue-tingling Sichuan peppercorns creates a signature kick that awakens the senses. Using fresh firm white fish like cod or sea bass gives tender, flaky texture that absorbs the spicy broth beautifully.
The dish includes Doubanjiang fermented bean paste, a cornerstone of Sichuan cooking, delivering depth and umami richness. Adding tofu helps mellow the intense flavors, offering softness to contrast the heat. The red lantern moniker alludes to the bright red color from chilies symbolizing warmth and festivity.
Usually enjoyed hot off the stove, this stew warms both the body and spirit. It's common in homes and street food stalls across Sichuan province with many regional and family variations. Originating centuries ago, it pays homage to Sichuan's abundant freshwater fish and bold spices. This recipe balances authentic flair with accessible ingredients for the home cook aiming to explore the robust world of Chinese spicy seafood stews.
Tips:
- Adjust the number of chilies according to your tolerance for heat.
- Toasting the Sichuan peppercorns intensifies their aroma and that iconic numbing quality.
- Serve with steamed jasmine rice to soak up the flavorful broth.
- To make it vegetarian, omit fish and substitute with mushrooms and extra tofu.
Enjoy crafting the embedded flavors that transform everyday fish into a sizzling culinary masterpiece reminiscent of the vibrant Sichuan street food culture!
