Cut and discard the gills from the fish

the head with flour. Cut the pork, mushrooms,
bean curd and ginger root into small slices. Cut the onions into short
lengths. Deep-fry the fish head
over a moderate heat for 10 minutes or until golden. Remove. Heat a little oil in a

heat and simmer for about 7 minutes. Garnish with onions, red
chili and Chinese parsley (fresh cilantro). Serve in a claypot or
casserole while hot.
