Spicy Pickled Pepper Crucian Carp

Overview

When I was a child, my father was a fisherman at home, and I could see fish on the small dining table. When I grew up, my friends also liked to eat grilled fish when they went out for a beer night. I made this spicy pickled pepper crucian carp based on the experience of grilled fish. It is spicy and full of pickled pepper flavor. It’s so refreshing to have a bottle of beer and eat the pickled pepper crucian carp.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 First clean the crucian carp, use a knife to make a few cuts on the fish, then apply salt evenly all over the fish, pour some cooking wine and let the crucian carp sit for 10 minutes.

   

2. 2 Cut the ginger and garlic into small pieces and prepare them. Cut the dried chili peppers into halves and prepare them. Cut the pickled peppers into short pieces and prepare them.

   

3. 3 Heat the pot, pour in the oil, put the crucian carp into the pot and fry it. Be careful not to make the fire too high. Fry the crucian carp slowly over medium-low heat until it is a little brown. Take the fish out and put it on a plate for later use.

   

4. 4 Pour oil into the pot, add ginger, garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, and dried chili peppers, stir-fry until fragrant, then add watercress and stir-fry.

   

5. 5 Following the previous step, add the pickled peppers and stir-fry.

   

6. 6 Then add the fried crucian carp into the pot and let the spicy flavor of pickled pepper penetrate into the crucian carp.

   

7. 7 When the crucian carp is almost cooked in the pot, you can start the pot. (Note that the heat should not be too high when adding the flavor, as it will easily spread the fish meat)

   

8. 8 Remove from the pot and put on a plate, add a few coriander and pickled pepper crucian carp to the pot.
