Suan Cai Yu, Sichuan Fish Soup with Pickled Greens (酸菜鱼)
Suancaiyu is a Sichuanese Fish 'Soup' with pickled mustard greens, a.k.a. suancai. It's hugely popular these days here in China, so we figured it might be a nice one to learn.
While this isn't quick and easy, it's not exactly overly involved either. There's a few different version of this dish - there's those that smother it with chili oil, there's those that amp up the sourness with lemon, and there's those with a drinkable soup. We personally enjoy that last version, so that's what this recipe is.

We're Steph and Chris - a food-obsessed couple that lives in Shenzhen, China. Steph is from Guangzhou and loves cooking food from throughout China - you'll usually be watching her behind the wok. Chris is a long-term expat from America that's been living in China and loving it for the last nine years - you'll be listening to his explanations and recipe details, and doing some cooking at times as well.
This channel is all about learning how to cook the same taste that you'd get in China. Our goal for each video is to give you a recipe that would at least get you close to what's made by some of our favorite restaurants here. Because of that, our recipes are no-holds-barred Chinese when it comes to style and ingredients - but feel free to ask for tips about adaptations and sourcing too!
