  • Fish in sweet and sour sauce Make Tips

    [Luren's Tips:] 1. Fish Selection: Mandarin fish, carp, grass carp, or any other fish you prefer, as long as the flesh is thick enough. 2. When making the decorative cuts, use a "diagonal slicing" technique. The greater the slant, the more distinct the diamond-shaped pieces will be, creating a stronger three-dimensional effect. 3. [Sweet and Sour Sauce Preparation]: Aromatic vinegar, white sugar, ketchup, cool boiled water or stock (in a 1:2:3:4 ratio). You can also add some oyster sauce if you like. 4. Do not let it sit for too long after dusting with starch; it should be deep-fried immediately. Otherwise, the dry starch will absorb moisture, causing the scored cuts to stick together, which affects the shape. [Characteristics of this dish]: The color is attractive, and the taste is crispy, tender, fresh, and fragrant. It is appetizing with its sweet and sour flavor. The auspicious meaning of "having surplus (fish) year after year" perfectly captures the festive atmosphere of a New Year's dish. As the Year of the Rabbit approaches, Luren wishes all fellow food lovers and your families joy and abundance (fish)! May you have abundance year after year, and long-lasting health, peace, and safety!!
