How to make pickled Wuchang fish

Food is vital to our human body and is closely related to our life. A good diet can prolong your life. On the contrary, a bad diet can take away our precious lives. So, what constitutes a good diet? I guess I have to at least do it myself. Now, let me introduce to you the method of cooking the dish of pickled Wuchang fish.

1. Prepare the materials

2. Make a few cuts on the fish

3. Take a small bowl, add about 3 teaspoons of salt, add pepper powder and crushed pepper (adjust the amount according to personal taste) and mix well; drain the cleaned fish, apply the seasoning evenly on the fish body and the belly; stuff the chopped ginger into the fish belly, pass the cotton rope through the fish lips, and hang the fish in a cool and ventilated place to "marinate" for 3-4 hours.

4. Take the fish back after "marinating", wipe off the slightly lumpy pepper and Sichuan pepper powder on the fish body with kitchen paper (this kind of seasoning will taste bitter when heated with high oil), heat oil in the pan, put the fish in the pan and fry until both sides are golden and crispy. If you want to be lazy, you can serve the marinated fish directly at this point.

5. Leave some oil in the pot, add shredded ginger and scallion segments into the pot and stir-fry until fragrant, then add red bell pepper and celery segments and stir-fry, add soy sauce, umami sauce, spicy oil, sugar, and 1 bowl of water (or broth) into the pot, stir well with a spatula, put the marinated fish into the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, sprinkle scallion segments on the fish, turn to low heat, cover and simmer for a few minutes to make the fish meat soaked with juice and flavor; remove the fish from the pot and place on a plate, turn to high heat to thicken the sauce, add a few drops of balsamic vinegar and stir well, and pour the sauce over the fish.
