You can understand from the name that it is very typical Hangzhou cuisine.
As for the source of the name, I have always been curious.
One said it is because it is like the water of the West Lake and has no bottom; another said it is like the carp in the West Lake...
Either way, what I want to emphasize is that this dish, cooked at home, is really easy.
Definitely recommend giving it a try.
