Ms. Choi's Cod Chowder

20260901 #breakfastdiary 1822, 23°C/rain A clam chowder recipe, but with protein-rich cod fillet standing in for the clams — a high-protein breakfast for my mother, with a clean 1:1:1 balance of carbs, protein, and fat. I've decided to call this recipe Ms. Choi's Cod Chowder. 👆Since this is a breakfast made on a busy morning, the process is compressed — the tip, if you can call it that, is sautéing the onion, then adding flour to fake a roux.
