boiled fish
By JaydeFriesen
This is a common Sichuan dish, with various cooking methods. I like the strong hot pot flavor best to suppress the fishy smell. If any friends who pay attention to me can find that I cook very little fish because I am afraid of both fish smell and fish bones. The only hot pot with fish is a frequent visitor to my home. Using hot pot ingredients instead of bean paste, the taste is strong, and the fish is boiled in a soup made of stir-fried ginger, garlic and chives. The aroma is full and the fishy smell disappears. However, when the weather is slightly colder, pay attention to choosing clear oil hot pot base to avoid condensation of butter and affecting the taste. Because I am in Shenzhen and still wear short-sleeved clothes and sweat when I go out for a quick walk, I reluctantly chose the ordinary block-like Chongqing Little Swan Hotpot ingredients. I like crispy cucumbers and delicious tofu, as well as the fragrance of celery, which makes the water and fish taste fresher. Spicy, delicious, and full of beauty, it can be used as your banquet dish without fear.

The tofu can be broken by hand to make it more delicious. The container referred to in the steps does not mean that the capacity is too large or too small. The specific amount of water added can be adjusted according to your needs. My bowl has a capacity of 1.2 liters. The reference number of various seasonings can be changed according to the weight of the fish. The oil poured on the bowl must be hot. After the smoke comes out, you can spoon it on the pepper and try it. If you can hear the sizzling sound, but you can't overheat it, it will cause bitterness and the pepper will burn.
