Braised Yellow Mountain Fish

Method

   Prepare the ingredients: Clean the Huangshan fish, make two shallow cuts on the back, slice the ginger, and chop the scallions.

   

2. 02

   Step 2

   Heat rapeseed oil in a wok until it reaches 8 % of its smoking point. The oil should be thoroughly heated, but don't let it burn.

   

3. 03

   Step 3

   Slide the Huangshan fish into the pan along the edge, being careful to avoid oil splattering.

   After this point, you can reduce the time a little and flip it over in about 2 minutes. The more golden it is, the tastier it will be. Make sure to fry both ends thoroughly!

   Step 5

   Add lemon water to enhance the flavor, or simply add hot water to cover the fish, cover, and cook over high heat for 2 minutes.

   Step 6

   Step 7

   Taste it. If it's not flavorful enough, add more soy sauce and vinegar, reduce the sauce until thickened, and then remove from heat. The sauce will become more flavorful as it reduces!
