How to make healthy loach hotpot

Maybe you have a lot of friends, but it is impossible for you to be with them every day. Even if you are together every day, you definitely won’t be able to cook for yourself when you are young. So, in order to survive better, the editor will teach you how to make healthy loach hotpot.

1. Keep the purchased live loaches in clean water for two days and change the water frequently.

2. Prepare the side dishes.

3. Add appropriate amount of water to the pot, heat it to about 80 degrees, put in the loach, cover it, turn off the heat, and open the lid after about half a minute. (The water cannot be boiled completely, and the heat must be turned off after the loach is put in. It cannot be boiled, otherwise the skin will be broken. Cover it for about half a minute after putting it in. This way, the loach is easy to clean the mucus and is intact.)

4. Clean the mucus on the surface of the loach.

5. Boil an appropriate amount of water in another pot, add 1 teaspoon of salt, put in the cut tofu cubes and blanch them in the water.

6. Wash and cut the side dishes, and prepare the pickled peppers.

7. Heat the pan slightly, add appropriate amount of oil, add the chopped ginger, scallion, minced garlic, dried red pepper and Sichuan peppercorns, and stir-fry over medium heat until fragrant. (Use cold pan and cold oil to fry slowly until fragrant. Do not heat the oil too hot, otherwise the spices will burn as soon as they are put in, and they will not be fragrant at all. In addition, rinse the dried red pepper and Sichuan peppercorns with water first, so that they are not easy to burn and are very fragrant.)

8. Add pickled pepper and stir-fry for a few times, then add bean paste.

9. Stir-fry until the oil comes out.

10. Add the original broth, cover the lid, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes to allow all the spices to blend.

11. Add the washed loach and tofu.

12. Cover the lid and bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add celery and scallion segments and transfer to the hot pot.
