Cold crucian carp

Overview

When I had guests at home these days and was worrying about what to eat for everyone, I happened to see fresh wild crucian carp for sale in the market. A dish suddenly came to my mind. I immediately bought a few and went home to prepare delicious cold crucian carp for everyone. Crucian carp mainly grows in fresh water. Nowadays, most of them are artificially fed, and there are relatively few wild ones. If you encounter wild crucian carp, don’t miss such a beauty. Buy it home and stew it, braise it, fry it, pan-fry it or boil it. It’s delicious. There are two keys to making a good cold crucian carp: first, the quality of crucian carp is very demanding, so it is best not to raise the fish; second, the ultimate pursuit of taste, highlighting the spicy and delicious flavor that is unforgettable. Steam the crucian carp first, then pour the sauce on it. The cooked fish meat is tender, spicy and refreshing, and the color is bright. The red of the peppers and the green of the leeks and green onions are not only a visual impact, but also a feast for the taste buds. After a while, only the fish heads and bones are left. The elders were full of praise and asked me to make it for them next time. In fact, I especially enjoy cooking for my family and the simple joys in the cooking process. When I see my family eating so delicious and exciting, I feel a sense of accomplishment and a sense of value. Life is actually very simple. Doing the things you like with the people you like is enough!
