The garlic is kept to a minimum for the same reason. Use only professionally cleaned puffer fish from a verified supply chain.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Prepare 450g of cleaned puffer fish fillet by cutting it into bite sized pieces and slice 200g of radish into thin 3cm squares about 0.5cm thick for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Pour 1200ml of water into a pot, add the sliced radish, and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer for 10 minutes until the radish turns translucent.

  3. 3

    Add the puffer fish pieces and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic to the broth, then simmer gently on low heat for 8 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add 140 g soybean sprouts and simmer for 4 more minutes.

    Cook until the stems are tender but still crisp, spooning broth over the pufferfish so the pieces do not break.

  5. 5

    Season the broth with 1 tablespoon of soup soy sauce added gradually to maintain a light flavor, then add 80g of water dropwort cut into 5cm lengths and diagonally sliced green onion.

  6. 6

    Simmer for just 2 more minutes to infuse the clear broth with the fresh herbal aroma of the greens, then turn off the heat before the vegetables lose their bright color.
