Instructions

  1. How I make it
  2. Heat a little oil in a pot and sauté the garlic until fragrant.
  3. Add the fresh mackerel fish paste, dropping it into the pot in small portions.
  4. Pour in water and bring it to a gentle boil.
  5. Season with salt and white pepper.
  6. Lower the heat and let the soup simmer gently for about 15 minutes so the fish paste cooks through and the soup develops its natural sweetness.
  7. Add lettuce towards the end.
  8. Serve with cooked meehoon and finish with fried shallots.
  9. That’s it. 🤎
  10. No complicated seasoning needed. The freshness and natural sweetness of the mackerel do most of the work.

💜 Tips for Kids

If your children aren’t big fans of mackerel, try changing the texture and presentation instead of giving up on the ingredient.

My kids don’t usually choose mackerel, but they happily eat it when I turn it into fish paste and serve it in a comforting bowl of soup with meehoon.

Sometimes it’s not the ingredient they dislike. It’s simply the way it’s served.

📝 Amanda's Notes

If you do not have freshly make mackerel fish paste, you can use ready made or frozen mackerel fish paste from the supermarket or your local frozen seafood shop. Just thaw it properly before cooking.
