Spicy crucian carp roasted tofu------it really goes well with it

Overview

That day in the store, Qiqi ordered this crucian carp roasted tofu. It looked very appetizing, and then I started eating. A few days later, we went to have a late-night snack, and happened to see a restaurant in northern Jiangsu. I thought that the food in northern Jiangsu would not be as sweet as the food in southern Jiangsu. But when I ordered, I forgot to ask to put less sugar. The three of us who don't like spicy food were very depressing. So we decisively bought the ingredients and cooked them ourselves the next day. It was still delicious.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 A piece of fresh crucian carp, remove the internal organs and clean it. You can buy a slightly larger one. Why pinch it? Because this method is really good for rice, haha

   

2. 2 Sprinkle cornstarch on the whole body and marinate for about ten minutes

   

3. 3 For tofu, I personally recommend buying soft tofu, which is smoother and tender

   

4. 4 Cut into small, even pieces. If they are too big, they won’t look good when placed on the plate

   

5. 5 Peel the ginger and cut into thin strips

   

6. 6 Peel and slice garlic

   

7. 7 Cut green and red pepper into thin strips

   

8. 8 Heat oil in a pan and add a little salt

   

9. 9 Add the crucian carp and fry for about three to four minutes. After one side is fried, turn it over, then pick it up and set aside

   

10. 10 Add oil to the pan again, add chopped ginger, garlic slices and sauté over low heat until fragrant

    

11. 11 Then add the dried chili segments

    

12. 12 Stir-fry two tablespoons of bean paste over low heat to produce red oil, then pour in a little cooking wine

    

13. 13 Pour in appropriate amount of water,

    

14. 14 Add half a spoonful of light soy sauce

    

15. 15 A small spoonful of sugar, a little salt, mix well and bring to a boil. [Remember, the amount of salt should be appropriate. Doubanjiang and soy sauce are all salty. Don’t say I didn’t remind you. Then you will say it is too salty and tastes bad. Can it be my fault? Hum]

    

16. 16 Add the fried crucian carp, you can cover it and cook for a while, but you should also use a spatula to gently stir it, otherwise it will stick to the pan

    

17. 17 Gently add the cut tofu and cook slowly over low heat,

    

18. 18 Prepare water starch; just mix water and a little starch evenly [Many people don’t know what starch is, so go to Baidu]

    

19. 19 When the soup is almost cooked, add the sliced green and red peppers

    

20. 20 Finally, pour the prepared water starch and pour it around the pot

    

21. 21 Just cook it for one minute. Many people ask how to get the fish out of the pan without breaking. I use two spatulas at the same time. .

    

22. 22 In fact, it tastes better if it is stewed directly. I like the sizzling feeling the best, but I still served it for taking pictures. It is really super delicious. .

    

23. 23 Later I realized that in order to live a simple, comfortable and free life, the prerequisite is still to earn enough money to make you feel at ease. This world is real, and only your efforts and self can make it soft.
