Salted fish chicken tofu pot

Method

1. 1 Fry the salted fish in oil for 3 minutes until fragrant, then remove and reserve the fish oil.
2. 2 Frying the fish separately to extract the oil is a step that creates the base flavor; adding the fish at the same time prevents the fishy smell from dissipating.
3. 3 Pan-fry the diced tofu in fish oil until golden brown on all four sides.
4. 4 Sauté the chicken marinated in cornstarch in an earthenware pot with ginger for 5 minutes.
5. 5 Arrange the fish, tofu, and chicken in a clay pot, then pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine, and enough water to cover them.
6. 6 Cover the pot and simmer for 20 minutes until the liquid is reduced by half, then sprinkle with chopped scallions.
