Spicy Braised Fish

Overview

How to cook Spicy Braised Fish at home

I made a fish tonight and I don’t know what it is called. The seller said it was rainbow trout, but when I checked online, it didn’t look like red snapper at all
Remove the thorns and lay it out more flatly. If it’s fresh, just steam it with green onion and ginger. Rub it with salt and white wine and let it marinate for a while
The frying pan is not that big, so I had to cut off the head
It’s best to use lard when sauteing onion, ginger and garlic. I ran out of lard and cut some sausage into it to increase the aroma of the pork. Then add Pixian Douban soy sauce, white wine, chili pepper, aniseed, bay leaves and rock sugar
Add stock or water and simmer for a while to reduce the juice
A lot of fish can be pan-fried or deep-fried like this, then roasted for a while and added with these seasonings to make it delicious
