Why is boiled fish not called oil-water fish?
Boiled fish ",as long as it is a Sichuan restaurant, no matter how big or small, almost all have this dish, and even some street shops and food street stalls use it as the main dish." "But when it comes to the origin of this dish, it is natural that authentic boiled fish was first introduced to the boiled fish town in Beijing.
"Boiled fish" originated in Yubei area of Chongqing, with a history of only over ten years. The master who invented this dish was born in a Sichuan family and grew up in the kitchen. Coupled with his cleverness and eagerness to learn, he achieved great accomplishments at a young age. Speaking of his fame, we can't help mentioning a cooking contest held by 1983 in Chongqing. In this contest, he made "boiled meat slices" with a cooking method similar to that of boiled fish now, which was completely different from the traditional practice at that time. The brand-new practice of "boiling pork slices" was unanimously recognized by the judges because of its color, appearance, taste and many other characteristics, and he won the grand prize for it.
Since winning the lottery, relatives and friends have come to congratulate him. Every time he entertains guests, he will cook "boiled meat slices" himself. On this day, a friend who grew up together came to visit. This friend lives by the Jialing River, and every time he comes, he will bring a few grass carp from Jialing River, and this time is no exception. Every party, you must have a few drinks. It's almost noon, but the master is worried about lunch, not for anything else, just because this friend has never eaten big meat since he was a child, and no other meat has been prepared at home. The master wants his friends to share the dishes won in the competition. While worrying, the skipping fish in the wooden basin reminded the master why he didn't put the "fish" in the water to cook. In this way, the first pot of boiled fish was born Unexpectedly, the delicious and spicy fish made friends full of praise, and the master himself was surprised.
From then on, the master began to devote himself to the study of "boiled fish meat", striving for perfection in many aspects such as the characteristics of fish meat, spicy collocation, color innovation and so on. After more than a year's efforts, the boiled fish was basically finalized at 1985. Soon boiled fish led the local catering market and gradually improved. By the mid-1990s, a boiled fish street had formed in the local area.
At the beginning of 1999, Mr. Yang Zhan, the founder of the hometown of boiled fish, went to Sichuan to inspect the dishes, met the inventor of boiled fish through a friend's introduction, brought authentic boiled fish back to Beijing, and improved the technology of boiled fish according to the climate characteristics and eating habits of northerners. On July 22nd, 1999, the first small store opened in Beijing. His main course is "boiled fish", which is named "boiled fish town" according to the characteristics of boiling hot oil to roll peppers when cooking boiled fish.
