Crucian carp, tofu and radish soup

Crucian carp, tofu and radish soup

Overview

I got sick some time ago and recovered easily. I have been taking good supplements recently. Crucian carp and tofu are rich in protein and calcium, and radish is also called the poor man's ginseng. It is tonic when raw and cooked, so this soup is very nutritious and tonic. It’s not difficult to make. Although it takes a little time, the nutrition and taste are very good. I saw a couple buying fish at the vegetable market. The girl said they wanted to drink crucian carp soup, but the boy thought the fish were too small, so he bought four... In fact, crucian carp soup is just for drinking soup. If the purpose of eating fish is to eat fish, it is more convenient for us to choose other big fish.

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Taking a photo of the raw materials, forgetting the garlic cloves...

  2. Pickled fish: Clean the crucian carp, wipe off the black membrane in the belly, control the water, and cut one side of the fish with a flower knife. Mix 1 teaspoon white pepper and 1 tablespoon cooking wine and apply evenly on the inside and outside of the fish. (The reason why it is necessary to control the moisture is to not dilute the marinated fish seasoning. The fish is cut with a flower knife to make it more delicious. Only cut one side, otherwise the fish will be too rotten and difficult to operate)

  3. Prepare the ingredients: cut the tofu into cubes, shred the scallions, and slice the ginger (my experience this time is that I only had the last half of the scallions left. I used them, but the fish soup turned a little green...you must choose white scallions!!!)

  4. Peel and shred the radish (not too thin, thicker than potato shreds, just be casual)

  5. Boil a pot of water, put in the tofu and cook for a while, take it out. (The purpose of this step is to remove the beany smell)

  6. Add shredded radish, cook until boiling and remove. (Radish has a mustard smell, and the soup tends to be bitter, so it needs to be boiled first)

  7. Put the tofu and radish shreds into cold water.

  8. Fried fish: After preparing the ingredients, the fish is almost marinated and ready to be fried. Heat a non-stick pan and add some oil. (If it is an ordinary wok, rub the pan with ginger first and then add oil, so that the fish skin will not stick to it easily. The amount of oil does not need to be too much, just half the amount for cooking)

  9. When the oil is hot, add the fish with the knife side facing down. Instead of using a shovel, rotate the pan to allow the fat to fully contact the fish; at the same time, throw in the garlic cloves and fry them together. (Be sure not to shovel the fish just after putting it in, otherwise the skin will definitely rot; control the water on the fish before putting it in, be careful of hot oil splashing, and pay attention to protection)

  10. Fry the fish for a while. When the skin becomes dry and hard, turn it over. Fry the other side in the same manner as above. Fry until both sides are brown, then take it out.

  12. Transfer the onion, ginger and garlic to the cooking pot, add appropriate amount of water and bring to a boil over high heat. (If you only use one pot, just add water after the onions and ginger are fragrant).

  13. After the water is hot, put the fish in (no need to boil, if you added hot water before, you can put the fish directly), and bring to a boil over high heat.

  14. After the fire comes to a boil, skim off the floating residue, add the tofu cubes, turn to low heat and simmer for about an hour.

  15. In about an hour, the soup will turn milky white. At this time, add shredded radish, season with salt, and continue cooking until the shredded radish is soft and waxy.

  16. Serve it out. I found a few chives in the refrigerator, chopped some into pieces and beat for color. The slow-cooked fish soup has an attractive milky white color and a thicker texture. The radish has been processed and has a strong fish soup flavor without any smell of stinky radish. It is very delicious. I will destroy this big bowl and not give it to others to drink...
