Delicious tips
1, carp is divided into male and female, so it is best to buy male carp when buying it, because its meat is plump and there are more fish; Female carp have fish eggs, which are more fragrant.
2. When cleaning carp, you must completely remove the gills to prevent the fish head from being entangled in sand; In addition, a layer of black in the fish belly should also be cleaned up to avoid fishy smell.
3. Before frying the fish, wipe the pot with ginger to prevent the fish skin from sticking to the pot; In addition, when frying fish, turn the fish as little as possible to avoid fish pieces.
4. White vinegar, Shaoxing wine and ginger slices all have the function of removing fishy smell, but don't cook shredded ginger too early, because protein in fish will hinder the removal of fishy smell from ginger. You can cook it for a while, and then add ginger after the protein is solidified, which is better.
5. When making sweet and sour fish, sugar should be put before salt, otherwise the dehydration of salt will make it difficult for protein to fully understand the taste of sugar, which will lead to sweet outside and light inside.
