How to make steamed fish with chopped pepper and black bean sauce

Everyone is a foodie. If not, it’s because you haven’t found what you like to eat. If you want to cook the dishes you like, you have to learn. Now, let me introduce to you how to make steamed fish with chopped pepper and fermented black beans.

1. Wash the crucian carp and make three cuts on both sides to make it more flavorful. Marinate with cooking wine for 5 minutes first.

2. Prepare onion, ginger and garlic

3. Two spoonfuls of fermented black beans and chopped peppers. I won’t take pictures separately. They are put in a big jar. My mother brought it from her hometown in Hunan. It is made with peppers grown in her own home. The pepper varieties in Sichuan are different, so this kind of chopped pepper cannot be made.

4.1 First apply a small amount of salt on the fish, not too much, as fermented black beans and chopped peppers are both salty. 2 Then apply vegetable oil on the fish. I use corn oil. Using rapeseed oil will have a bit of rapeseed oil smell, which I don’t like.

5. Chop the ginger and garlic, chop the green onion into chopped green onion, add chopped pepper, pepper powder (to remove the fishy smell), cooking wine, light soy sauce, and you can also add pepper powder, and mix well.

6. Spread the mixed seasoning on the fish. These seasonings are the most delicious, so I put a little more.

7. Add the peppercorns into the pan with cold oil and fry over low heat until they bring out the aroma and numbing taste. Turn up the heat and raise the oil temperature. If you don’t like Sichuan peppercorns, take them out.

8. Steam over high heat for 8-10 minutes in boiling water, serve and sprinkle with chopped green onions.

9. Pour hot oil on it, and with a "sizzle" sound, the aroma will come to your nose! ! Makes you drool...

Although the dish of steamed fish with chopped pepper and fermented black beans is simple to make, if you have never cooked and don’t understand it, you might as well ask your elders for help. Under the guidance of your elders, you will definitely be able to do better.
