Overview

Fish cakes are one of the specialties of Jingzhou. It is said that Emperor Shun took Nv Ying and Emperor E's two concubines on a southern tour of Jingzhou. When passing through Jingzhou, Emperor E didn't want tea or rice. She wanted to eat fish but hated fish bones, so the smart and kind Nv Ying steamed boneless fish cakes for Emperor E. After eating it, Emperor E's condition improved rapidly, so the fish cake was also called Xiangfei cake. Since then, it has been spread in Jingchu area. Recently, I met a gourmet food fan who is from Jingzhou. It is said that he has opened a local fish cake shop for many years and even delivered a few copies by courier. This can be regarded as a bonus for fans. It was also the first time for Xiaogu to eat fish cakes. I didn’t expect it to be so delicious. It is especially suitable for those gourmet friends who love fish and hate fish bones. After popularizing it, I learned that there are several types of fish cakes, including low-fat fish cakes, which are 95% fish meat and a small amount of fat meat and other ingredients; home-made fish cakes, which are 70% fish meat, fat meat and other ingredients; lean fish cakes, which are mostly lean meat and a small amount of fish meat and other ingredients. For the dish I made today, Xiaogu chose homemade fish cakes. The fish cakes do not add any seasonings such as MSG and are only seasoned with salt. The umami flavor comes from its own ingredients, so the steaming method is used to retain the original flavor. The mashed potatoes absorb the delicious juice from the bacon and fish cakes, which makes the taste even better. The addition of mashed potatoes also makes it not taste too greasy. This actually provides me with inspiration. After that, I will start to think about making a mashed potato version of PK Western fast food.
