In Baja fish soup, matchstick noodles are not decoration but a full partner. The hot paprika broth and separately cooked pasta create a bowl in which nobody asks for quieter flavours.
Method, step by step
- Salt the fish slices, boil the onion in water for 10-15 minutes.
- Add the fish, then when it boils again, the red pepper. Go slowly and check the texture, aroma and balance of flavors before each subsequent operation.
- Cook over high heat for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pot occasionally.
- Cook the matchstick noodles separately and serve with the soup.
Practical tips and common mistakes
- Cut the onion very finely, add the pepper to the boiling water, and do not cook the fish for more than 25 minutes.
- Keep the soup at a gentle simmer: a strong boil can make it cloudy and break up the ingredients.
- Only cool the leftovers and put them in the fridge, covered, and reheat them according to the nature of the food before consumption.
