Good day!
When it comes to dishes my husband loves dishes with no oil. He said that it is much healthier when a dish has no oil. And one of his favorites with no oil is Blue Scad Mackerel in White Vinegar. This dish is straightforward yet delicious and healthy. It is also one of my favorites, I guess food is one of the binding mediums between me and my husband.
I eat a lot whenever I cook this dish, as my husband (he just loves the spicy soup). Cooking this dish is very easy, you just combine all the ingredients and then let them boil. This is the simplest version of this dish but it can be upgraded by adding more vegetables like eggplant, snow cabbage, and bitter gourd. Aside from white vinegar, any type of vinegar can be used in this dish.
IMPORTANT: The stomach and gills of the Blue Scad Mackerel must be completely removed. Not removing the stomach will make the soup bitter and not removing the gills will make the soup fishy and undesirable.

- Blue Scad Mackerel (medium, 5 pieces)
- Onion (small, 2 pc)
- Garlic (2 cloves, small)
