Scrape the skin of the herring to remove the scales.

Chop off the head and cut open the belly to remove the entrails.

Prepare 500 milliliters of water and a tea bag of green tea in a pot over medium heat to boil.

Once boiling, turn to low heat and boil for 20 minutes; the green tea helps to reduce the fishy flavor.

Remove the tea bag and strain the water into another pot, keeping the cooked fish.

Add the soup ingredients and the cooked fish into the new pot on medium heat.

Once it boils, turn to low heat for about 20 minutes with a piece of foil lid on top to help it cook entirely.

Simmer until the sauce lightly caramelizes, checking occasionally to prevent the soup from evaporating and drying out the fish meat.

Once cooked, gently take the fish out of the pot and plate it.
