Critical Success Points

  • Blend the first mixture (ginger, onion, chili, garlic) until a smooth texture is achieved.
  • Remove the fish before the second cooking to prevent it from falling apart.
  • Adjust the amount of water according to the desired consistency.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the blender carefully: the lid must be securely closed to avoid splashing hot liquid.
  • Watch out for mackerel bones when serving.
  • Use gloves or a towel to handle the hot pot.
