Fish-flavored shredded pork is a classic Sichuan dish. It is also essential in Sichuan restaurants all over the country, and the price is between ten yuan and dozens of yuan. The fish flavor of fish-flavored shredded pork is not from fish, but is made from pickled pepper, onion, ginger, garlic, sugar, salt, soy sauce and other condiments. It has the characteristics of salty, sour, sweet, spicy, fragrant, fresh, onion, ginger and garlic.

Historical story of fish-flavored shredded pork

According to legend, a long time ago, there was a business family in Sichuan. People in their family like eating fish very much, and they are very particular about seasonings, so when cooking fish, they have to put some seasonings, such as onion, ginger, garlic, wine, vinegar and soy sauce, to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor.

One night, when the hostess of this family was frying another dish, in order not to waste the ingredients, she fried all the ingredients left over from the last fish cooking in this dish. At that time, she thought, this dish may not be very delicious, and it may be difficult to explain when the men at home come back. While she was in a daze, her husband went home on a business trip.

I don't know if this husband is hungry, but he still thinks this bowl of food is very special. He grabbed it with his hand and swallowed it in his mouth before dinner. He can't wait a minute. He can't wait to ask his wife what this dish is made of. When she just stuttered, she was surprised to find that her husband repeatedly praised the taste of this dish. Seeing that she didn't answer, she asked, "What is it made of?" In this way, his wife told him in detail.

Moreover, this dish is fried with ingredients such as grilled fish, and it tastes endless, so it is named fish-flavored fried, hence the name. Later, this dish was improved by Sichuan people for several years, and now it has been included in Sichuan recipes early, such as fish-flavored pork liver, fish-flavored shredded pork, fish-flavored eggplant seeds and fish-flavored shredded pork.

Now you can understand why there is no fish in the fish-flavored shredded pork.
