02Steps
  1. Pat cod fillet pieces dry with paper towels. Lightly season with salt and white pepper.
  2. Heat cooking oil in a wok or claypot over medium-high heat. Pan-fry the cod fillet pieces for 1-2 minutes per side until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same wok/claypot, add ginger slices and stir-fry until fragrant. Add shiitake mushrooms and oyster mushrooms, stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the tofu cubes, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer, then cover and braise for 5-7 minutes over medium-low heat.
  5. Gently add the pan-fried cod fillet pieces back into the claypot. Pour in the cornstarch slurry and stir gently until the sauce thickens. Avoid over-stirring to prevent breaking the fish.
  6. Garnish with chopped scallions and serve hot.
