THAI HOT AND SOUR BROTH: Saute until soft first four ingredients with a little canola oil. Deglaze with fish sauce and add chicken stock. Simmer and reduce by 15-20 percent. Add vinegar, basil and pepper. Adjust if needed. Strain and keep hot. Place small mound of Enoki mushrooms in the middle of a soup plate. Place snapper on top and ladle in broth. Garnish with scallions and chile oil.
