【Preheat New Year's Eve Dinner】—— Braised crucian carp

Overview

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, while buying new year’s goods, we also start planning the New Year’s Eve dinner. Fish is one of the must-have dishes on every household’s table during the Chinese New Year. There are many ways to cook each type of fish. Yesterday I went to the supermarket and saw so many plump fish. I wanted to choose a few things my family would like to eat and try making them in different ways. By the time of the New Year’s Eve dinner, it would be much easier.
