Ethnic-style fish stew
In this dish, the Guanlyate of the dried Shiitake mushrooms beautifully enrichens the Umami taste of the fish. The ethnic-style flavor of this fish stew is a fantastic treat.
When adding the fish sauce (nam pla) to the dissolved granulated sugar, do so all at once. Be careful, as adding too much color will make the soup bitter. Also, as this is a hot dish, be careful not to burn yourself. Recipe provided by Hattori Nutrition College
