When it comes to crucian carp, I have a very special approach that I would like to share with you. First of all, we need to prepare fresh crucian carp, green onions, ginger, garlic, red pepper, Sichuan pepper and other ingredients.
Then, we clean the crucian carp and marinate it with shredded ginger, green onions, cooking wine, and salt for 10 minutes to remove the fishy smell.
Next, we chop the green onion, ginger, garlic and red pepper and set aside. Then, heat the oil, when the oil temperature is moderate, add the peppercorns and stir-fry until fragrant, and then add the crucian carp on both sides and fry until golden brown and crispy. Serve the fried crucian carp aside.
Then, we add green onions, ginger, garlic, and red pepper to the pot and stir-fry to bring out the fragrance, add an appropriate amount of light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and salt to taste, and then add an appropriate amount of water to boil. Finally, put the fried crucian carp into the pan and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the fish to fully absorb the flavor of the seasoning. During the stewing process, the fish body can be turned at the right time to make both sides evenly absorb the flavor.
When the soup is thickened, we sprinkle with chopped green onions and chopped coriander, and it is ready to serve. The crucian carp produced in this way is golden in color, crispy and delicious, slightly spicy and sweet, and is a home-cooked dish with good color and flavor.
In addition to this practice, crucian carp can also be stewed in soup, braised in a braised soup, steamed and other methods. Different cooking methods bring different textures and flavors. For example, steamed crucian carp can retain the freshness and nutrition of the fish to the greatest extent, while braised crucian carp has a strong flavor and is suitable for friends with heavy tastes. The stewed soup combines the umami of crucian carp with the soup and is rich in nutrients.
Either way, you need to clean the crucian carp first, marinate it with shredded ginger, green onions, cooking wine, and salt to remove the fishy smell. Then handle the ingredients and seasonings according to different cooking methods, and master the heat and time to make a delicious crucian carp dish.
