Appropriate amount of cleaned fish (any fish🐟 is fine)

Prepare to order star anise, bay leaves, tangerine peel, hawthorn slices or dried hawthorn, and an appropriate amount of onion, ginger, dried chili
-
Pickle the fish with onions, ginger, cooking wine, a little salt, and marinate for 15 minutes
-
First make a secret sauce (this sauce is suitable for any smoked fish). When the oil is cold in a pan, add star anise leaves, dried chili and stir-fry over low heat until fragrant. Then add onions and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant
-
Saute the onion, ginger and spices until fragrant, then put in a large bowl of hot water, then add tangerine peel, dried hawthorn, 1 tablespoon of red yeast powder or red yeast rice, 1/3 tablespoon of five-spice powder, 4 tablespoons of light soy sauce, 4 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of chicken powder, 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, and just a little bit of salt. Keep boiling over medium-low heat without covering the lid
-
Cook until 1/3 of the juice is left and it is almost ready. At this time, the juice feels a little sticky
-
Then filter out the juice without using anything else, and you will get 1/3 of the concentrated essence juice (this juice tastes very delicious)
-
Heat the oil in a pan until it is 60% hot. Add the marinated fish and keep frying until it is 60% hot
-
Take it out in the middle and fry it again to remove all the moisture from the fish and fry it dry and crispy, as shown in the picture
-
Then put the fried fish directly into the secret sauce and soak it for 3 minutes, then take it out and put it on the plate
-
Picture of the finished product, tastes great
