Fried small yellow croaker

Overview

I have loved eating fish since I was a child. In my opinion, fish is a very good thing, especially sea fish. If you eat more, you won’t be afraid of any side effects. Not to mention the various benefits of supplementing protein. After working for five days, I would go to the market every weekend and buy one or two fish, either stewed, steamed or fried. I always feel that the small days are full of flavor~ The fish cooked in this way is particularly delicious and is perfect for rice 😉

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Clean the yellow croaker, rinse it with running water, wash away all the black membrane inside, and cut it into two cuts on each side (as shown in the picture). Prepare two slices of ginger, (for small ones, cut into three slices, you can cut them however you like😊) and a clove of garlic, smash it into pieces.

  2. Heat oil in a pan, turn to medium-low heat, and add fish to the pan. If there is water in the fish body, the oil will splash, so be careful

  3. Rotate the pan occasionally to heat the fish evenly and fry the head and tail. If you like it a bit charred, you can fry it for a while. The fish is very small and the meat is very tender and easy to cook. Then turn off the heat, yes! Just turn off the heat. Cover the pot and leave it alone. At this time, you can go do something else, wash vegetables or something

  4. Open the lid of the pot, gently turn the fish over, turn on the heat, and fry this side slightly. At the same time, add ginger slices and garlic, and stir-fry with excess oil. The fish is almost fried, add an appropriate amount of water, I added it to more than half of the fish, because I like to leave a little to prevent it from drying out, and the fish dipping sauce will be delicious😍. Add three spoons of light soy sauce, two bottles of old wine, half a teaspoon of sugar, and a little salt if it tastes heavy. Move the fish a little to prevent it from sticking to the pan, cover it and simmer for one minute

  5. Flip gently, cook for a while, and turn off the heat. Depending on personal preference, add a spoonful of chicken essence. It will be delicious without adding it.
