If you are too busy to make a dinner at night (after work), here’s one dish dinner you may want to try. If you are intimated by whole fish, you may use fish filet. The secret seasoning is hot pot base (spicy seasoning), which adds bold flavor to this dish. Fish and tofu to me is one of the best protein combination in Chinese food. Of course, if you are not a fan of tofu, you may simply skip it. Enjoy!
