Cooking tips for making fish soups:
Soak the fish slices in a bowl of water with 1 teaspoon of salt. Massage salt onto the fish flesh for 1 minute. After massaging the salt onto the fish flesh, add cornstarch and stir to dissolve the cornstarch fully into the salt water. Sock the fish slices for around 3-5 minutes. The cornstarch gives the batang fish a soft texture after cooking, and prevents the fish from overcooking.
