Tempeh fish is a traditional Chinese dish that is neither fried nor braised. Through a special production process, it makes the fish bones crispy and fragrant, which is mouth-watering, and it is simply an excellent choice for rice and satisfying cravings.
The first step in making tempeh fish is to prepare the ingredients. We need a fresh grass carp, an appropriate amount of tempeh, an appropriate amount of green onion, ginger and garlic, cooking wine, salt, light soy sauce, a little white pepper, and a small spoon of sugar. After slaughtering, the grass carp is patted with the back of a knife to improve the taste of the fish.
Next, we cut the fish into chunks and place them in a bowl. Then, take a small bowl, chop the tempeh, add an appropriate amount of cooking wine and a little salt, stir well, and make a tempeh paste.
Next, we mince the green onions, ginger and garlic and set aside. Pour an appropriate amount of oil into the pot, add minced green onions, ginger and garlic, and stir-fry until fragrant. Then, pour the tempeh paste into the pan and stir-fry evenly.
When the tempeh paste is stir-fried well, add an appropriate amount of water and bring to a boil. Put the fish pieces in a pot, add some cooking wine, sugar and light soy sauce and mix gently. Cover the pot and simmer over low heat, about 15 minutes, until the fish is cooked through.
The final step is seasoning. We add a pinch of salt and white pepper to taste if the taste is right. If you feel that the fish soup is a little light, you can add chicken essence or umami soy sauce in moderation to increase the flavor.
Now, a delicious tempeh fish dish is successfully completed. Its fish bones are crispy and fragrant, with the rich aroma of tempeh, which is very appetizing and can satisfy everyone's appetite. Whether it's served with rice or served as a dish with beer, you'll have a unique and delicious experience.
