Crispy fried fish with ginger and fermented soybeans (trey chien chuon)

This dish brings together crispy fried fish with aromatic ginger and savory fermented soybeans. You’ll fry both the ginger and fish separately until golden and crisp, then quickly stir-fry garlic and soybeans in a pan. Everything comes together at the very end, ensuring the fish and ginger retain their texture. It’s a straightforward meal that pairs well with steamed rice.
