  • 2 tbsp scallion
  • 1 Spanish mackerel (ikan tenggiri) steak cut
  • 2 tbsp ginger julienned
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat cooking oil in a pot over medium heat until it shimmers.

  • Add ginger, red dates, wolfberry, and scallion
  • After a few minutes, add the fish then season with salt and white pepper until the flavours meld.

Notes

"Tenggiri is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, crucial for reducing inflammation and aiding postpartum recovery. Ginger and garlic offer strong antioxidant properties that support the healing process. Red dates are rich in iron, promoting healthy blood circulation and preventing fatigue while wolfberries are high in minerals and vitamins. They also help improve and regain the mother's immune system."
