Boiled fish

Overview

In order to eat healthily, I started to study how to cook boiled fish at home, and finally summed up some methods. This method uses only slightly more oil than usual for cooking, which is both healthy and cost-effective. You don’t have to worry about how to dispose of a whole basin of used oil, and it removes the fishy smell very well while keeping the fish meat fresh and tender. It's spicy and fragrant in your mouth, oily but not greasy. In short, the taste is no worse than that in restaurants outside. If you have any questions when cooking this dish, you can add WeChat leyou517 to ask. I will answer them carefully one by one.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare ingredients.

   

2. 2 Clean and slice the fish, separating the bones and flesh. Remove the fibrous roots from the soybean sprouts, cut the peppers into sections, and slice the ginger. Next start marinating the fish. Add three or four slices of ginger, a spoonful of cooking wine, and half a spoonful of salt to the fish bones and marinate for twenty minutes. Add half an egg white, a spoonful of cooking wine, a spoonful of starch, and a small spoonful of white pepper to the fish fillets, then mix well and marinate for twenty minutes.

   

3. 3 Add an appropriate amount of water to the pot. After the water boils, put the soybean sprouts into the pot and add a little salt. When the soybean sprouts are cooked, take them out and put them into a large bowl.

   

4. 4 Pour a little oil into the pot. When the oil is hot, add a spoonful of Pixian bean paste and ginger slices and stir-fry until the red oil comes out (if you like a spicier taste, you can add some dried chili peppers to the pot and stir-fry until the aroma is released).

   

5. 5 Pour appropriate amount of hot water into the pot.

   

6. 6 Put the fish bones into the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for 10 minutes. (You can taste the fish soup at this time, and then choose whether to add salt according to your own taste.) After the fish bones are stewed, put them into a large bowl with soybean sprouts.

   

7. 7 Place the fish piece by piece into the pot. (Do not stir, if necessary, just shake the pot a few times)

   

8. 8 After boiling, immediately remove the fish and pour some soup into a bowl.

   

9. 9 Change to a clean pot, pour about 40 ml of cooking oil into the pot, then put the dried chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns into the pot, stir-fry over low heat until the peppers are red and the Sichuan peppercorns are fragrant, then take them out and put them on the fish.

   

10. 10 Heat the remaining oil in the pot over high heat until it smokes slightly, then turn off the heat and pour the oil over the fish.
