Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash the fish, make diagonal cuts on both sides of the fish body, rub it with salt and marinate it for a while, so that the fish meat becomes more flavorful;

   

2. 2 Heat oil in a pot, use a spatula to hold the ginger slices, and rub the bottom of the pot once so that the fried fish skin will not stick to the pot easily;

   

3. 3 Put in the croaker, don't move it, fry this side first; *When you shake the pot gently and the fish body can move, you can judge that this side has been fried;

   

4. 4 Use a spatula to turn the other side of the fish and continue to fry it thoroughly; *The meat of the croaker is very tender, so be gentle when turning it over; put the fried fish on a plate and set aside.

   

5. 5 Saute green onion, white ginger and garlic slices in the pot; *It is best to wash the pot for frying fish, don't be lazy like me, it will affect the color of the soup after cooking

   

6. 6 Pour in hot boiling water, add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine and a little salt, then add the fried yellow croaker;

   

7. 7 Cover the pot and cook over high heat. When 1/2 of the soup is left, open the lid and add sugar and chicken essence. Finally, repeatedly use a pot spoon to ladle the soup over the fish so that this side can also absorb the flavor. Wait until the soup is almost reduced and it’s ready!
