[Snake comes and turns, a prosperous New Year dish] is called "soft gold in the water" - [Roasted eel with garlic]

Overview

Eel is most often made into a dish called Panlong eel, because it reminds people of the dancing golden snake, and it has both appearance and temperament in the upcoming Year of the Snake. Will it be popular in the Year of the Snake? Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, rich in soy sauce and garlic aroma, very delicious~~~ My best memory about eels is when I was in elementary school. Once when I came home from school at noon, a casserole was already placed on the table. The moment I opened the lid, the aroma overflowed, and a thick layer of bright oil floated on the surface. A long fish that I had never seen before was plated in the pot. My mother said, this is eel. Pick up a chopstick and put it in your mouth. You have never tasted that delicious, mellow, creamy and plump texture. It is an instant hit! After eating such a casserole for a whole week, the smell of eel was the same as every burp. The wonderful taste is unforgettable for many years. It can be said that it is imprinted in my food memory...
