Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Rinse the fresh fish fillets under cold water, pat dry with a paper towel, and cut into bite-sized pieces. Slice the chili peppers, mince the garlic, slice the ginger, and shallots. Chop the cilantro and green onions.

Cooking the Soup

  1. 2

    Boil the Broth

    In a large pot, add 1 liter of water and bring it to a boil over high heat.

  2. 3

    Add Spices and Seasonings

    Once the water is boiling, add the minced garlic, sliced ginger, and shallots. Stir in the fish sauce, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  3. 4

    Cook the Fish

    Gently add the fish pieces into the pot, followed by the sliced chili peppers. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Finishing Touches

    Serve the Soup
