Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash the yellow croaker, make sure to clean the black membrane in the belly, and set aside other accessories

   

2. 2 Add a little oil to the pot. When the oil temperature is 40% hot, put the cinnamon, star anise and bay leaves into the pot and stir-fry over low heat until fragrant

   

3. 3 Add the garlic and ginger slices to the pot and continue to stir-fry

   

4. 4 Add two spoons of bean paste into the pot and stir-fry until fragrant

   

5. 5 Put the washed yellow croaker in the pot. No need to cut the yellow croaker with a flower knife

   

6. 6 Pour boiling water into the pot, the amount of water is slightly less than that of the yellow croaker, add two small spoons of sugar and a little cooking wine, simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, and turn off the heat when the soup in the pot becomes thick.

   

7. 7 During the stewing process, stir the yellow croaker as little as possible to prevent the yellow croaker from breaking. I flipped it twice, but it didn’t look very good, but it still tasted delicious
