Ingredients
Steps
-
Prepare half of grass carp meat and remove the large spine from the abdomen.
-
Split in half from the middle. (If you have a long enough plate, you don’t need to divide it)
-
Take a piece of fish and cut it lengthwise with a straight knife. Each piece is about 5 mm thick, leaving the skin uncut.
-
Then start from one end and slice it with a diagonal knife as shown in the picture. When cutting, use your left hand to gather the fish meat slightly to make it easier to cut. Also cut to the skin of the fish without cutting it off.
-
Cut to the end.
-
The cut fish meat is as shown in the picture, the fish skin is connected and the thickness is even.
-
Cut both pieces into a basin, add chopped ginger and chives, add cooking wine and salt, mix gently and marinate for a while to remove the fishy smell and add the base flavor.
-
Sprinkle the marinated fish evenly with the mixed dry starch and custard powder, and shake off the excess powder after spreading.
-
Add an appropriate amount of oil to the pot, fry the fish over medium heat, then fry again over high heat until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Remove and drain the oil.
-
While the fish is marinating prepare the Heinz tomato sauce.
-
Add sugar and vinegar and mix well.
-
Add a little oil to the pot, pour in tomato paste and stir-fry until big bubbles form, then add a little water starch to thicken the sauce. (You can add a little oil before serving, so that the sauce will be shinier)
-
Pour the tomato sauce evenly over the fish pieces and garnish slightly.
