Ingredients

Steps

  1. The ratio of soybean sauce, sweet noodle sauce, tomato sauce, oyster sauce, and light soy sauce is 2:2:4:1:1. Ji'er uses a porcelain spoon used for soup. Pour the above sauce ingredients into a small bowl and mix well.

  2. Cut the grass carp into sections, add a little white pepper and five-spice powder, a small spoonful of cooking wine, a small spoonful of white sugar, and two or three slices of ginger. The spoon here is just the kind of spoon you usually use for eating.

  3. Add half of the sauce you just prepared into the fish pieces and mix thoroughly. (This needs to be marinated for more than two hours. It is best to marinate it the night before and put it in the refrigerator before making it the next day.)

  4. Cut the lotus root into strips. Those who don’t like lotus root can use lettuce or cowpea. If it is for the elderly or children, you can also cut some eggplant strips.

  7. Add slices of ginger and garlic to the bottom of the rice cooker. One is to enhance the flavor and the other is to prevent the pot from burning.

  9. Place the marinated fish pieces on the lotus root strips and pour the other half of the prepared sauce. (When marinating the fish pieces, soup will come out. If it smells particularly fishy, be sure to throw it away. Do not add it to the pot. Remember this!)

  10. Cut the scallions into large pieces and spread them on the fish pieces. Cover the lid and press the simmer button. After about half an hour, you can take it out of the pot and put it on a plate. The fish pieces and lotus root strips will release soup when simmering, so there is no need to add water.
