Stewed fish in iron pan has low requirements for the use of fish, which are basically common freshwater fish such as carp, crucian carp, catfish and triple scales. Because we seldom eat marine fish at ordinary times, these common freshwater fish are the main ingredients, and northerners generally have a salty taste.

technical points in the process of making fish stew in iron pan.

(1) When we cook fish in iron pot, you may notice why the fish we stew is not fried in advance.

There are still some differences in making fish stew in iron pan compared with our home-cooked fish stew. The fish stew in iron pan mainly reflects the freshness of the fish, which requires a lot of water to stew, and there are many vegetables in it. If the fish is fried in oil before stewing, it will affect the soft taste of the fish. Therefore, when making fish stew in iron pan, it is best not to fry it, but to stew it directly with water.

② Why didn't you add refined salt to the fish stew?

because when we stew fish, we add special sauce for stewed fish, which already contains enough salt, so we don't need to add refined salt.

③ when will the vermicelli or the vermicelli mouse be released?

Because vermicelli will fall into the bottom of the pot if it is put in early, and it will stick to the pot, so we add vermicelli or vermicelli (vermicelli is a product made of potato starch and similar to vermicelli, which is very suitable for stewing fish in an iron pot, with a soft and delicious taste) when the fish is stewed for eight times.

the preparation method of sauce used to make fish stew in iron pot.

when we made this fish stew in iron pan, we used a special sauce for fish stew, and its main material was basically soybean sauce.

The sauce formula: 411g of soybean sauce, 11g of garlic hot sauce, 11g of fragrant sauce, 2g of monosodium glutamate, 11g of refined salt, 3g of spiced powder, 11g of seasoning oil, 21g of pepper slices, and oil consumption.

Sauce cooking method: put seasoning oil into a pot and heat it, then add these sauces and seasonings, and boil it with low heat. When stewing fish, just add sauce according to the weight of the fish. For 1511 grams of fish, 211 grams is enough, which is probably like a small bowl. Because soy sauce itself is very salty, don't add too much.
