Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 piece of fresh grass carp, remove the scales, internal organs, etc. and wash it, then remove the fishy lines from both sides of the fish, fillet the fish on both sides, and cut into diagonal slices (I eat one fish in two, half of it is boiled fish, and the other part is pickled fish.

   

2. 2 Add the boiled fish ingredients bought from the supermarket and pour in the marinade according to the instructions to marinate the fish fillets.

   

3. 3 Then add an appropriate amount of water according to the requirements of the material package, pour in the other part of the material package and cook until it boils.

   

4. 4 Wash the soybean sprouts bought in the supermarket repeatedly, boil the water, add the soybean sprouts, blanch the water with salt, take it out, cool it and put it in the bottom of a small pot.

   

5. 5 Cut the cucumber into strips and place in the pot. Set aside.

   

6. 6 Place the fish fillets into the pot one by one and cook for 3 to 5 minutes.

   

7. 7 Take out the fish fillets and put them on the soybean sprouts and cucumber strips. The cucumber strips on top are blanched in the pot to add flavor. The boiled fish meat is fresh and tender. In fact, there is also a chili bag that should be placed in the middle of the boiled fish and poured with hot oil. My family doesn't like greasy and spicy food, so I didn't add it.

   

8. 8 After the boiled fish was cooked, I cooked it on the stove for another 2 to 3 minutes to allow the soybean sprouts at the bottom to blend with the flavor of the boiled fish. Now it is convenient and fast to make boiled fish at home with the help of boiled fish ingredients. It is garnished with homemade red dragon sauce radish strips in the middle, which is beautiful and relieves greasiness (at the same time, I made a pot of pickled fish).
