Chopped garlic

Chopped Shallots

Paprika

1-2 tomatoes cut into wedges

1/4 chopped cabbage

1/2 cup chopped green onions

Cut an X in the center of the fish. Fry fish with a few cloves garlic for 5-10 minutes on each side on medium-high heat. Do not overcook. Take fish out and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat. Wash the pan and return to heat. Fry chopped garlic, shallots and some paprika in medium-high heat. Add cut tomatoes and chopped cabbage to pan. Add 1-2 smashed fermented tofu and some soy sauce to pan. Add fish to pan, put all cabbage and tomatoes on top of the fish.

Put a lid on the pan and cook on low-medium heat for 15-20 minutes.

Serve with steam rice. Enjoy!
