6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 (2.5-3 pound) carp
1 Clove garlic
3 slices Fresh ginger root
4 Scallion stalks
¼ cup Chicken fat
3 drops Tabasco sauce; more or less
2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
1 teaspoon Sugar
Stock to cover
2 Cakes bean curd

Directions

1. Prepare fish as in steps 1 and 2 of "Basic Braised Soy Fish".

2. Mince garlic and ginger root. Cut scallions in 2-inch sections.

3. Heat chicken fat in a large, deep pan. Stir in Tabasco and oyster sauce.

Add garlic, ginger root, scallions and sugar, and stir-fry a few times.

4. Add carp and brown quickly on both sides. (The pan should now be very hot.)

5. Add enough stock to cover fish. Bring to a boil; then simmer, covered, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, dice bean curd.

7. Arrange bean curd cubes around fish. Pour sauce over and serve.
