    Put 3 tablespoons of oil, about 45 ml, into a frying pan, and heat until 80% hot. Place it with your hand above the pan about a foot high. Feel it. If it feels very hot and slightly hot, it will be fine.

    Remove the fried hairtail from the pan, pour out most of the oil in the frying pan, leaving only a little base oil, and put the fish pieces into the pan again. When making the rice sprouts, tradition is still followed. The fish pieces are not taken out of the pan. Instead, the fish pieces are pressed directly with a spatula and the oil is poured out. Then pour the glutinous rice wine. But it was a little difficult for novices, so I simplified it.

    After returning the fish pieces to the pot, immediately pour in the sweet glutinous rice wine. Cover the pan and simmer for a few seconds.

    Make the soup thick. The degree of thickness can be determined according to personal preference. You can have more or less soup if you like. Of course, less will be more fragrant! If you are a novice, you have to slowly master the skills of harvesting juice.
