    Chinese food is so good and diverse. I had this spicy white fish dish once in Guangdong that was just incredible, I think about it often lol, can’t remember what it was called

    That being said there is something about american chinese food that makes me crave it from time to time (probably all the salt and sugar)

      Was it boiled pickle fish (酸菜鱼 suancai yu)?

      Images below cw: meat:


      It’s a Sichuan dish, but recreated the country over. The broth can vary in colour, heat and flavour, depending on preferences, and for larger dishes it’s sometimes seved in metal over an open flame to keep warm and stop the oil from congealing.
