Red has always symbolized good luck and joy in China, and has the implication of good luck. Especially during the Chinese New Year, red decorations can be seen everywhere, so I will post a representative recipe related to red. The first dish in 2017 (boiled fish), the soup is as red as flames, and the meat is like It is as smooth and tender as tofu, the finished product is fragrant and spicy, smooth and tender, and brings you enjoyment on the tip of your tongue... After several attempts, I finally made a satisfactory boiled fish. From the combination of ingredients, slicing, pickling, cooking, and heat control, every link directly affects the taste. Of course, I am from Guangdong and can only eat medium spicy and medium numbing. Boiled fish is a specialty of Sichuan cuisine. The professional way is to add spicy hot pot base ingredients, and the last step is to spread a layer of chili powder on the pot. However, I don’t like these two ingredients, so I omit them. I wish everyone more gains and new breakthroughs in 2017. Friends who browse and collect this recipe will bring you more good luck...
