A side dish of fish skin cooked in a soy-based braise. It is soft and silky rather than crisp, with a rich, savoury flavour.
How it is made
The skin is simmered in soy sauce until it turns silky and takes on the braising liquid.
How to eat it
A plate goes with migao (sticky rice) at breakfast or lunch.
In Tainan
At Hao Nung Chia, a Tainan migao shop open since 1946, Michelin singles out the soy-braised fish skin among the sides.
