How it's used

Five-willow fish refers to a specific style of preparation where the fish is topped with a sweet and sour sauce containing shredded vegetables like ginger, scallion, and pickled vegetables. The name comes from the five shredded ingredients that resemble willow branches. It is a classic Cantonese banquet dish that highlights the balance between the delicate texture of the fish and the tangy, crunchy garnish.
