How to make small fish pancakes

The method of making small fish pancakes is not as difficult as everyone thinks. Prepare the necessary things first, then start following the steps, and remember to control the heat well.

1.12 Mix cornmeal, white flour and soybean flour in a ratio of 20:10:3. Add yeast water into warm water and mix well. The amount of water should be about half of the amount of flour. (The proportion of flour can be adjusted according to your taste. The pancakes with soybean flour are more nutritious. If you don't have soybean flour, you can leave it out.)

2.21 Slowly pour the warm water mixed with yeast powder into the flour and mix evenly with chopsticks

3. Knead the flour into dough and let it ferment in a warm place for two hours

4. Remove the fins of the small yellow croaker, cut open the abdomen, remove the internal organs, remove the gills, and clean it.

5.1 Put a little oil in the pan, put the fish in the pan, fry over medium heat until the bottom is golden brown

6.2 Dry the processed small yellow croaker with kitchen paper, apply a layer of starch evenly, and shake off the excess flour for later use.

7. Turn over and fry the other side until golden brown on the bottom.

8. Take another large pot, put onion, ginger, pepper, star anise, and the fried fish in it; (You can also use oil to sauté the onion and ginger before adding the fish, but I think it is healthier to use less oil, so I just stew it directly)

9. Mix the bean paste with warm water and pour it into the pot until it covers the small yellow croaker; (the bean paste can be replaced with sweet bean paste, yellow bean paste or Northeast soybean paste)

10. Roll the cornmeal dough into a ball and stick it to the side of the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook over medium heat for 20 to 30 minutes.

Making fish pancakes may seem complicated, but if you actually try it, you’ll find it’s not difficult at all. The key is that you must master the specific steps and methods before you do it.
