Sichuan-style home-style large yellow croaker

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   Clean the fish, make incisions along its back, rub salt on both sides, and also rub some inside the belly.

   

2. 02

   Step 2

   Slice ginger, scallions, and garlic (I think I forgot to write garlic in the ingredients list). Chop pickled ginger, pickled chili peppers, small red chili peppers, and tomatoes into a paste. Add fermented broad bean paste and a suitable amount of Sichuan peppercorns (I forgot to write that again). Put them in a bowl to make a seasoning.

   

3. 03

   Step 3

   Let it rest for 20 minutes (half an hour after you start preparing the fish), then heat vegetable oil in a pan until it 8 % hot, add seasonings and stir-fry until cooked.

   

4. 04

   Step 4

   Add broth (actually I added tap water), one and a half bowls of rice.

   

5. 05

   Step 5

   Once the water boils, add the fish and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. Flip the fish over and cook for 5 minutes, until the fish is fully cooked.

   Step 6

   This was my first time making this, and I forgot to take screenshots. Plate the fish separately. Mix cornstarch, MSG, vinegar, and sugar to make a sauce. Heat a pan over high heat and thicken the sauce until it becomes a thick paste. Add half of the chopped scallions, stir well, and pour over the fish. Sprinkle with the remaining chopped scallions.

   Step 7

   I apologize to everyone. First, I didn't have any scallions, so I used finely chopped green peppers and cooked them with cornstarch. Second, my wife ate the whole thing as soon as it was served, and by the time I remembered to take a picture, it was too late. In conclusion, I'm truly sorry.
