【Chongqing】Roasted Mandarin Fish with Sweet Potato
Overview
It’s Chinese New Year, and there must be fish on our New Year’s dinner table, which means there will be more than enough every year! The meat of mandarin fish is tender and has few spines. It is sealed and grilled with tin foil, which locks in nutrients and moisture. Therefore, the grilled fish meat is salty, fresh and juicy. Coupled with the caramel aroma and sweetness of the sweet potato, it is really enjoyable to eat it in your mouth! (Sweet potatoes can also be replaced with potatoes or lotus root slices)
