Sichuan pepper fish

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   [Marinating] Marinate the fish fillets with salt, cooking wine, and Sichuan peppercorns. Then add cornstarch and mix well. Refrigerate while marinating. Prepare other ingredients.

   

2. 02

   Step 2

   [Preparation] Prepare the seasonings and wash them. Adjust the amount of chili peppers, ginger, and garlic to your liking.

   

3. 03

   Step 3

   [Side Dishes] Wash bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, and sweet potato noodles. Soak the sweet potato noodles in advance until soft. These ingredients can be substituted according to personal preference, or you can use whatever you have on hand. The bamboo shoots and sweet potato noodles were brought from my hometown.

   Step 5

   [Stir-fry] Heat oil in a wok, add small skewers of Sichuan peppercorns and fry until crisp, then add ginger and garlic and stir-fry. Add bamboo shoots and stir-fry, then add bean sprouts after they cook quickly. Add salt, stir-fry until cooked, then transfer to a large bowl.

   Step 6

   [Soup Base] In a separate pot, heat oil and add ginger, garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, small red chilies, and a small amount of dried chilies. Add chili oil and water to make the soup. (Be careful not to burn the dried chilies.)

   Step 7

   Once the water boils, add the fish fillets, a suitable amount of salt, and a little soy sauce for flavor. (Fish fillets cook very quickly, so they shouldn't be cooked for too long.)

   Step 8

   After cooking, serve it in another bowl.

   

9. 09

   Step 9

   Cook sweet potato noodles in fish soup, and once cooked, place them in a large bowl containing the side dishes. (Steps 8.9 can be reversed; I forgot to cook the noodles in the large bowl first, so I scooped them out first, then cooked the noodles and placed the cooked noodles at the bottom.)

    Step 10

    Finally, place the fish in a large bowl containing the side dishes, and sprinkle with cilantro, chopped green onions, minced ginger, minced garlic, and dried chili peppers. Heat oil in a separate pan and pour it over the fish.
