Homemade fish stock is essential in my home cooking. Apart from the flavour, it is packed with nutrients that our body requires. It makes a great soup base for noodles, rice vermicelli, pasta or it can be served as a daily nourishing soup with added tomatoes and vegetables.

I normally make fish stock once a week and keep it in 3-4 freezer-safe containers to be stored in the freezer. Whenever I need it, just take it out and thaw it a little and boil it, add some rice vermicelli or Japanese Somen, meat/ prawns/ fish slices and vegetables, my son will finish eating everything served in his bowl just like this...

This is how it looks like when it is chilled, just like jelly. It will return to liquid form after heating up. |
Ingredients:
中文食谱:可在网页的右边点击Translate, 然后选择中文翻译
1kg Fish Head (Thread-fin/ grouper/ snapper, just get the fresh one!)
6 slices Ginger
1 Onion (cut into chunks)
1 Large or 2 Medium Size Carrots (cut into chunks)
1 tbsp Cooking Wine (Shao Xing Hua Tiao or Chinese Rice Wine)
1 litre Hot Water
Appliance: Ninja Foodi
Method:
1. Heat some oil in the pot, add in ginger and onion, stir fry until fragrant.
2. Add in the fish head, sear until both sides are golden brown. Add cooking wine and hot water, bring to a boil.
3. Add in carrots. Pressure Cook (HI) for 20mins, natural release. The fish stock is ready by now. You may switch to Sear/ Saute mode to boil for another 10 minutes to enhance the flavour or just let it cool and keep it in the freezer for later use.
The Ninja Foodi that I'm using is a combination of a pressure cooker and air fryer in one appliance. Besides pressure cooking and air frying, there are other functions such as steam, slow cook, sear/ saute, bake/ roast, grill, dehydrate, sous vide, yoghurt, and keep warm. This cooker helps prepare quick meals without hassle. Ninja Foodi can be purchased from Ninja Kitchen Official Website.
