The saltiness of pickled vegetables varies from store to store, so taste it first and then add salt accordingly. The way to make the soup milky is to heat oil and hot water in a pan. My fish is small, so the cooking time is not long. If the fish is large, the cooking time can be extended appropriately. Of course, you can serve it in one pot at home. If you are more sophisticated, put the fish on a plate, sift the soup and pour it into the fish plate, then garnish with appropriate amount of pickled vegetables and shredded bamboo shoots. The soup is what the yellow croaker drinks.
