How to make delicious fish sauce

Many people like to eat fish in our daily life, but most people eat large fish. However, don’t forget that there are many small fish around us that are very delicious. Small fish can be used to make fish sauce, which is very chewy and has a certain flavor. The taste is very good. You can learn to make fish sauce spicy or not, depending on your personal taste.

Small fish bean curd sauce

Ingredients: 1 pack of dried fish, 6-8 pieces of dried tofu, a little carrot, 2-3 tablespoons of spicy bean paste

I like to buy white, undyed tofu. Wash the dried tofu and cut into small cubes. After soaking and washing the dried radish, squeeze out excess water and cut into small cubes. Dice carrots. (Dry your own radish) How to make: https://icook.tw/recipes/39694

Heat oil in a pan (1-2 tbsp oil) and fry the dried tofu until fragrant and golden brown.

Add the dried radish and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the dried fish and carrot and stir-fry. Add half a bottle of rice wine, stir well, and simmer over low heat until half of the soup is left.

Finally, add the spicy bean paste (the amount depends on personal preference), mix well, and continue to simmer on low heat until the soup is almost reduced; leave some of the soup because the ingredients will continue to absorb the soup after turning off the heat, so that the fish tofu sauce will not be too dry.

Put directly into clean, dry glass bottles and refrigerate. It is suitable for both rice and noodles. Add edamame and it becomes a new dish!

Method: 1. Dice the onion and cut the garlic shoots into inch-long pieces. Put a small amount of oil in the pan, first add the garlic slices and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the dried fish and stir-fry until crispy.

2. Put the rice into the pan and stir-fry, then add the diced onion. When it is almost done, add two spoons of Korean chili sauce, mix well and continue to stir-fry for a few more times. Finally, add the garlic shoots and stir-fry briefly before serving.

Tips and tricks:

It tastes best if you use leftover rice from the previous night. When cooking brown rice, soak the rice for a few hours in advance. Dried fish is sold in markets where dried goods are sold. Both chili sauce and dried fish are salty, so basically you don’t need to add salt. You can adjust the amount according to your taste when frying.
