Instructions
Step 1
Scale the carp, remove the gills and innards, and wash clean. Rub salt all over the inside and outside of the fish and marinate for 30 minutes. Finely chop the pickled mustard greens. Cut the white scallions into inch-long sections, and prepare additional chopped scallions separately.
Step 2
Bring 1300 g of water to a boil in a pot. Add the salt, MSG, minced ginger, and soybean sprouts and cook for 3 minutes. Add the pickled mustard greens, white sugar, lard, and garlic slices and bring to a boil. Add the carp and cook for 15 minutes. Transfer to a soup bowl, sprinkle with pepper, and drizzle with sesame oil.
Step 3
Mix the soy sauce, roasted chili flakes, chopped scallions, and sesame oil into a dipping sauce to serve with the fish.
