Haven’t cooked anything new in a while, so I tried this dish that “looks complicated but is actually dead simple.” Tastes great too — goes perfectly with rice.

I’d never even heard of “lazy hot pot” until recently. I saw a Hong Kong YouTuber called Slime try one on YouTube, and it got me itching to give it a shot. I knew the principle was basically the same as some military ration I’d had before, but curiosity still won and I bought one to check it out.

The plan was sautéed fish slices. Recipe still from Xiachufang. Things went fine at first — marinating the fish, getting the ingredients ready, that sort of thing.
