Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Clean the hairtail fish (the black film in the belly of the hairtail fish has a strong fishy smell and is the main source of the fishy smell, so it must be scraped clean). Cut the green onions into sections, slice the ginger, pat the garlic with a knife, and prepare sugar, vinegar, tomato sauce, cooking wine, and light soy sauce

   

2. 2 First, prepare a bowl of sauce. Put 20 grams of sugar, 30 grams of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of tomato sauce, 3 teaspoons of cooking wine, 3 teaspoons of light soy sauce, salt and other seasonings into a large bowl. Add 150 grams of water and mix well. Set aside.

   

3. 3 Dip both sides of the clean hairtail with a thin layer of flour (fry the hairtail in thin flour to prevent sticking and keep the skin intact. The firing process will gelatinize and make the soup thicker, which can also thicken the fish.)

   

4. 4 Dip the hairtail fish in flour and fry in the frying pan. (When frying the fish, don't flip it in a hurry. It is estimated that one side is almost fried. Shake the pan and flip it when the fish can slide away from the pan.)

   

5. 5 Fry until golden brown on both sides and set aside

   

6. 6 Put a little bit of oil in the pot, add onion, ginger, garlic, and 1 star anise and sauté slightly until fragrant.

   

7. 7 After sauteing the onion, ginger and star anise, add the hairtail and the prepared sauce, making the sauce slightly thicker than the hairtail.

   

8. 8 Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to medium-low heat.

   

9. 9 In about 10 minutes, the hairtail fish will be fully flavored, reduce the juice over high heat, and thicken the soup. (It’s also great to leave some soup to mix with the rice)
