Red Snapper Stew with Chrysanthemum Leaves 茼蒿

I had this amazing red snapper and crab stew with breadfruit at Moon Bar (Boston) a few weeks ago. It was one of those rare dishes that I couldn't stop thinking about. I wanted to make a version of this at home, taking inspiration from Nigerian stews but also use southeast Asian flavors.

An ingredient I used for this dish are chrysanthemum greens. These can be found in Asian grocery stores, although it may be labeled as tong ho/tónghāo. It tastes a lot like spinach, but the longer you cook it the more peppery and bitter it comes.

For 4 servings:

1/4 c. vegetable oil

1 whole red snapper (about 2-3 pounds), filleted

2 tsp. kosher salt, divided

2 tsp. grated ginger

5 garlic cloves

1 small yellow onion

1 tsp. dried oregano

2 c. water

2 tbsp. tomato paste

14 oz. can diced tomatoes

1/2 c. chrysanthemum greens, lightly packed

2 tbsp. lime juice

2 green onions, sliced

In a dutch oven or heavy pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until the oil is shimmering. Meanwhile, season snapper with salt. Fry snapper fillet, about 5 minutes on each side. Set fried filet aside . Remove oil from the pot, reserving about 1 tablespoon. Over medium-high heat, sauté remaining salt, ginger and onion together until onions are softened. Add the next 4 ingredients and bring it to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, for 15 minutes. Add chrysanthemum greens and stir. Add fried snapper. Season with lime juice and sliced green onions before serving.

超越命名的美

我靜靜地看著我的屋頂森林、靜靜地欣賞一株鳥兒送來在此生長的野生茼蒿。微風抖著祂的葉片如衣袖，我覺得很美；夕陽在葉緣上輪廓出光，我也覺得很美。一開始的時候，我就這麼欣賞著，沒有想起祂的名字、祂的特性、祂的科學分類，依舊是美。

而當我想起「茼蒿」的時候，其實沒有因此覺得更美。沒有名字，祂的美也絲毫沒有減少過。

分類本身是一種侷限（我聳聳肩）。

踏進本質，一切都是一體的。

冬至吃湯圓 dōngzhì chī tāngyuán!

冬至 = winter solstice. 湯圓 tāngyuán are small balls made with glutinous rice flour.

小湯圓 xiǎo tāng yuán are the small ones with no filling inside. They are typically red or white.

大湯圓 dà tāng yuán is also called 元宵 yuán xiāo and the common fillings are 芝麻 zhīma / 花生 huā shēng, in a thick sauce form.

Both can be prepared as a savory meal, cooked typically with 茼蒿 tónghāo, a vegetable in the Chrysanthemum family.

There is also 芋圓 yù yuán & 地瓜圓 dì guā yuán, which is made with taro or sweet potato.

both types of 湯圓 are now sold year-round, both fresh and frozen.

小湯圓 is one of the staple dish found at a wedding bandquet; they are deep-fried and tossed with sweet peanut powder. The name of the dish is called 花好月圓 huā hǎo yuè yuán (blooming flowers and full moon).

!!! Domestic violence trigger warning below! !!!

on a rather dark note... the Taiwanese name for 茼蒿 is 打某菜 (lit. hit wife vegetable), because this vegetable greatly reduces in size when cooked, so the name jokingly (god I hope) indicates that the clueless man beats his wife upon seeing the cooked vegetables, thinking she ate most of it and leaving him only a small amount.
