The main ingrediants of this dish are fish and pickled cabbage. Oily broth with white fish meat and mint green pickled cabbage decorated with jade green chili, make this dish very fascinating. The dish is usually cooked in a big bronze pot.

the fish meat tastes very spicy and soft; the pickled cabbage tastes very refreshing and sour. Although the broth is oily it tastes very refreshing, delicious and a little bit numb because of the pepper. As being the most common dish in Chinese restaurants, it smells very attractive  because of the fresh smell of the fish and pickled cabbage.

Boiled fish with pickled cabbage and chili is also a popular homemade dish in China which is one of my mom's best dishes. I can still remember the scene when my mom was cooking this dish in the kitchen. The big bronze pot was put on the fire; it boiled with bubbling sound. The fish meat is cut into pieces and placed on a pan with a sizzleing sound while my mom was standing beside the pot, cutting the pickled cabbage with a clanking sound.  The kitchen was filled with the tasty aroma of the dish.

I love eating boiled fish with pickled cabbage and chili not only because of its special smell and refreshing mouthfeel, but also because it  reminds me of my sweet home and my mom.
