Step-by-Step Instructions for Coconut White Fish Stew
  1. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent. Next, incorporate the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for another minute until fragrant and golden.
