Ingredients
Steps
-
Prepare the ingredients: pickled peppers and ginger, which is the soul of this dish. (Homemade by my mom)
-
Chop the soaked ginger into shreds and cut the garlic into large pieces
-
Disembowel the loach to remove the mucus on its skin, wash and drain.
-
Heat the oil until it is 50% hot, add the bean paste and peppercorns and stir-fry until fragrant.
-
Add pickled pepper, pickled ginger, garlic, millet spicy (my personal taste is too strong, so I need to add spicy, or not) stir-fry over high heat until fragrant
-
Add an appropriate amount of water or stock and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes to allow the flavors of the ingredients to come out.
-
Add the washed loach, then add a little cooking wine, light soy sauce, and oyster sauce and simmer over low heat.
-
Add a little bit of white sugar at 10 minutes until you can no longer taste the sugar (the purpose of adding sugar is to increase the thickness of the dish. There is no need to add salt to this dish because both bean paste and kimchi are salty)
-
Add the pre-cut scallions and reduce the juice over high heat. Be careful not to burn the pan. The loach will stick to the pan easily (do not add chicken essence or the like, the loach itself is very delicious)

Prepare the dishes and put them into bowls
