Then, you will have a fish that can be taken directly to the pot after being rinsed.
After cutting the fish into a diamond shape, wash it and drain it with kitchen paper.
Add an appropriate amount of salt and sugar to the water to taste, a little cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, and add a whole egg. If your family conditions are relatively good, you can choose to add two beaten egg yolks. If you have a male egg, it is best to choose a male egg.
After coating in the egg wash, let it sit for five minutes to allow the fish to absorb the flavor.
After five minutes, coat the fish with cornstarch. This step must be done carefully. If you accidentally miss it, you will be tempted to wear a bikini while sunbathing, and your healthy wheat-colored skin will not be fully unlocked.
Already.
Heat oil in a hot pan until the oil temperature reaches 50%, that is, when wooden chopsticks are put in, small bubbles will appear and white smoke will appear in the oil pan.
After coating the fish in cornstarch, lift the fish and shake gently to let the excess cornstarch fall off.
The fish head that I was reluctant to feed to the cat just now is also coated in starch, and the excess powder must also be shaken off.
Use your fingers to pinch the neck of the fish and the upper part of the tail of the fish, put it in the oil pan for 5 seconds, and then release your hands, so that the fish will not curl up and can help shape the fish.
Of course, if you are afraid of being burned by the oil, you can also use chopsticks or tongs to hold it.
After setting the shape, you can put the whole fish into the pot, fry on medium heat for 10-15 minutes.
After the fish meat is completely put into the oil pan, put in the fish heads that are reluctant to feed the cat.
During the frying process, use a spoon to pour hot oil over the fish.
This allows every part of the fish to be crispy.
Fry the fish until it blooms and the surface is golden, then you can take it out.
Add an appropriate amount of water, tomato sauce (a refined product of tomato sauce), an appropriate amount of sugar, and an appropriate amount of salt to the pot, and bring to a boil over high heat.
When you feel that the sugar has completely melted, add an appropriate amount of starch water, keep scooping up the juice with a spoon, and observe the falling state. If it feels thick enough, you can turn off the heat.
The main thing to note here is not to make it too viscous, because after the temperature of the juice drops, the viscosity will further increase. Simply put, it will become thicker.
After turning off the heat, add an appropriate amount of rice vinegar (white vinegar).
After complicated alchemy, you get a compound sauce, sweet and sour sauce.
Pour the sweet and sour sauce onto the fish and sprinkle with pine nuts to complete the dish [Pine Nut Mandarin Fish].
The dish [Pine Nut Mandarin Fish] in front of me is quite good. The diamond-shaped fish meat on the surface of the fish is almost the same size.
The sweet and sour sauce on top is bright red and translucent, and the light sourness of rice vinegar and tomatoes immediately makes people feel thirsty.
As usual, Li Xiao picked up vegetables for Jiang Yingxue before picking them up for herself.
The chopsticks were first dipped in a little sweet and sour sauce, and the tongue deftly poked out.
Well, the sweet and sour sauce is just right, not too sour and not too sweet. It has a sour and sweet feeling, just like the taste of first love.
What I’m talking about is that most people’s first love is the same. My first love was sweeter than anything else.
The fish meat is very crispy, which Li Xiao could already feel the moment he picked it up.
The moment the chopsticks came into contact with the golden shell of the fish, there was a cracking sound.
Of course it's not the sound of chopsticks breaking, but the sound of the fish shell breaking.
Because the pine nut mandarin fish is coated in flour before being put into the pan, even if the outside of the fish is fried until crispy, the inside of the fish remains fresh and tender.
This is similar to the production principle of [Braised Lion Head]. Both the flour and the skin of the food are fried to form a protective layer, making the food taste richer.
While the outer layer becomes crispy and delicious, the inner layer of food maintains its original taste.
Put the fish on the chopsticks into your mouth, it's crispy and tender, two completely different feelings intertwined to form a special taste.
The golden fish meat, coupled with the bright red sweet and sour sauce, is bright in color and full of flavor. The crispy skin absorbs the juice better and allows the flavor to penetrate into the fish meat.
Li Xiao couldn't help but whispered to Jiang Yingxue
"This dish is really good. It's well cut, fried well, and tastes good. It can score over 90 points."
Jiang Yingxue also nodded, her pink tongue gently stretched out to lick the sweet and sour juice on her lips, and then she spoke.
"My grandpa used to make it a lot during Chinese New Year, but in the past two years, as he got older, he made it less often. I haven't eaten it in several years."
Hearing Jiang Yingxue's words, Li Xiao blurted out without thinking, just one sentence
"Do you want to eat during the Chinese New Year? If you want, I'll make it for you!"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Li Xiao felt something was wrong.
Is this too direct?
The blue budgerigar, who had been standing quietly beside him, rolled his eyes, "Good guy, are you going to come directly to the door now?"
Jiang Yingxue's face also turned red. What does this mean?
Now you want to go to my house to cook New Year’s Eve dinner?
Is this a disguised attempt to confess to yourself?
After all, it’s definitely not justified for friends or something to cook New Year’s Eve dinner.
Wen Li was the closest to the two of them. Although Li Xiao and Jiang Yingxue spoke very quietly, almost whispering, she was still heard by her who had been listening secretly.
She quickly poked Li Xiao with her elbow and said with a wink.
"Okay, can't you tell, you are very proactive? Are you going directly to your door to cook New Year's Eve dinner?"
Li Xiao quickly laughed and prepared to explain.
Jiang Yingxue spoke. Although her voice was as thin as a mosquito or fly, the words she spoke were truly shocking.
"It's not impossible, but the New Year's Eve dinner at my dad's place may not be available for the time being... However, if you are free, you can go to my grandpa's house to cook the New Year's Eve dinner."
For a moment, in the room, the sounds of chopsticks colliding with dishes, the sound of turntables turning, and the small voices of other people talking all disappeared the moment Jiang Yingxue spoke.
???
Li Xiao
???
everyone
Although no one was blatantly staring at the two people talking, the rolling of their eyes had exceeded many human limits.
After saying this, Jiang Yingxue's originally snow-white face was as red as red-hot coals, and the ears exposed from her long flaxen hair were also red.
Li Xiao swallowed. What did Jiang Yingxue mean by what she just said?
Did you agree to cook New Year’s Eve dinner during the Chinese New Year?
Although I just went to Mr. Yang Deshun’s house, no, I should call him grandpa, even though I just went to grandpa’s house to cook New Year’s Eve dinner.
However, I guess, maybe, it should be regarded as acquiescence?
Li Xiao felt that his heart rate suddenly accelerated from 100 beats per minute to 300 beats per minute.
Wait, what does the dating secrets say???
Oops, I didn’t see this at all. Why does the progress seem a bit fast?
Has this progressed to the point of going to grandpa’s house to cook New Year’s Eve dinner?
Suddenly got high and unlocked something inexplicable?
