How to cook steamed hairtail with pickled mustard greens, spring bamboo shoots and mushrooms

During the holidays, I believe everyone will go back to visit their elderly parents. This is a sign of care and filial piety. There are many ways to honor your parents, the best one is to accompany them quietly and cook something delicious for them yourself. Next, let me show you how to make steamed hairtail with snow vegetable, spring bamboo shoots and mushrooms.

1. There are generally four types of hairtail: fresh hairtail, chilled hairtail, thawed hairtail and frozen hairtail. Fresh hairtail is rarely seen in the market, so it is best to choose frozen hairtail

2.12 After selecting the fresh hairtail, look at its appearance. The shiny ones are fresh hairtail.

3.21 Press the body of the hairtail with your fingers. If the pressed part bounces back immediately, the hairtail is fresher.

4.1 Use your fingers to rub back and forth on the hairtail. The silvery-white film is not easy to fall off. The fresher the hairtail, the better.

5.2 There is a silvery-white film on the surface of hairtail. The better the silvery-white film is preserved, the fresher the hairtail is.

6.121 Put the hairtail you bought in a basin, add water to cover the surface of the hairtail, and add 1/4 teaspoon of salt

7.212 Look at the eyes of the hairtail. The brighter and fuller the eyeball is, the fresher the hairtail is.

8.1 Use scissors to cut off the tail of the hairtail fish

9.2 Use your hands to repeatedly scrub the hairtail to remove the mucus on the surface of the hairtail, and then remove it from the water (using salt water to wash the hairtail can firstly remove the mucus on the surface of the hairtail, so that the hairtail will not slip easily when it is killed later, and it is easy to kill; secondly, it can remove the fishy smell of the hairtail, which is one of the tricks to remove the fishy smell of the hairtail)

10. Use scissors to make a small cut at the junction of the fin and the body.

11. Gently tear the fish fins with your hands

12.1 Use scissors to make a small cut at the junction of the fish head and the fish neck, but do not cut it off.

13.2 Tear off the fins

14. Hold the fish head with your hands and tear it gently

15. The fish viscera can be easily removed by tearing the fish head

16.12 Cut the slaughtered hairtail into pieces with scissors

17.21 Use a knife to gently scratch the surface of the hairtail a few times. The purpose of this scratching is to scrape off the mucus on the surface of the hairtail, not to scrape off the silvery-white film on the surface of the hairtail (this is the second trick to remove the fishy smell of hairtail)

18.1 There is a layer of black film inside the fish belly, tear it off with your hands (this is the third trick to remove the fishy smell of hairtail fish)

19.2 Use scissors to cut open the fish belly

20. After tearing off the black film, there is a small amount of blood in the middle of the fish bone. Wash the blood with clean water (this is the fourth trick to remove the fishy smell of hairtail fish)

21. Put the processed hairtail pieces in clean water and rinse them clean

22. Cut a piece of ginger into thin strips

23. Put the washed hairtail pieces on a plate, add shredded ginger and 1 tablespoon of white wine, mix well and marinate for 10 minutes. (The effect of using white wine to remove the fishy smell is better than cooking wine. This is the fifth trick to remove the fishy smell of hairtail fish)

24. Peel the bamboo shoots and cut into thin slices. Wash and cut the mushrooms into thin slices.

25. Slice ginger and place on the bottom of the plate

26. A piece of hairtail, a piece of spring bamboo shoots, and a piece of mushroom, stacked and placed on the ginger slices

27. Put a proper amount of cooking oil in a wok, add the peppercorns, and fry until the peppercorns are fragrant (use peppercorn oil, this is the sixth trick to remove the fishy smell of hairtail fish)

28. Chop the garlic into small pieces and stir-fry until fragrant

29. Add 50g of snow vegetable, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 tablespoon of cooking oil, stir fry evenly until the snow vegetable is fragrant.

30. Put the fried snow vegetable on the hairtail

31. Put enough cold water in the pot, set up the steamer rack, and bring to a boil over high heat.

32. Place the plate with pickled mustard greens and hairtail on the steaming rack, cover the pot, and steam over high heat for about 8 minutes until the hairtail is cooked.

33. 1/2 tablespoon oyster sauce, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon sugar, 3-5 drops sesame oil, add 3 tablespoons water to make sauce

34. Pour the prepared sauce into the pot and heat until the sauce boils.

35. Cut the green onion and green onion into thin strips, soak them in cold water for 10 minutes until the strips are twisted.

36. Pour the cooked sauce on the hairtail fish and garnish with shredded green onion and red pepper.
