Squirrel mandarin fish

Overview

Originally it was made with mandarin fish, which cost 43 yuan per pound and I couldn't afford it, so I bought a sea bass for 12.8 yuan instead of the mandarin fish. I'm not a professional chef, so don't hit me if I don't cook well. If you don't understand my recipe, ask me on WeChat aishangYYF. I also post all the home-cooked delicacies I cook on WeChat

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare a sea bass (originally mandarin fish, too expensive to eat), wash it

3. 3 First cut the fish vertically, as deep as the skin, without breaking the skin, then cut diagonally from the tail, as deep as the skin, without breaking the skin, then marinate with cooking wine, onion, ginger, and salt for a while

   

4. 4 Beat an egg, dip it in the egg liquid, wrap it in cornstarch, let the fish stand upright, put a toothpick in the fish's mouth to support it, and prepare for frying

   

5. 5 This is fried and presented on the plate. It is even smaller after frying, but I can eat it by myself. If you have the conditions, you can buy a larger one, which looks better and is easier to make

   

6. 6 Finally, pour oil into the pan, fry the corn kernels and peas, then add tomato sauce, some water, sugar, vinegar, a small amount of salt, water starch, and prepare a sweet and sour sauce and slowly pour it on the fish, add coriander and garnish, it is done, it is enough for one person with my fried rice
