Braised cod with broccoli
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Cod is delicious in almost any form, and it pairs exceptionally well with broccoli and soy sauce. When stewed, it turns out much more tender and juicy than baked. To cook stewed cod with broccoli, you'll need a deep frying pan to sear and then braise the fish. Serve the finished dish immediately.

Step 2
Place a pot of water for the vermicelli on the stove. While the water is coming to a boil, pat the fish dry and coat it in starch. Heat a skillet, add a small amount of oil, and fry the fish on one side first (4 minutes), then on the other side for 1 minute. Set the cooked cod aside for now.

Now for the vegetables: add them to the same skillet to sauté. Add onion, broccoli, ginger, whole peppercorns (you can crush them with a knife), and whole small chili peppers. While the vegetables are sautéing, mix together the broth, starch (2 tbsp), and soy sauce. After 4 minutes of sautéing, pour the mixture into the skillet and bring to a boil.
