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. She thought at that time, 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 wonder if this husband is hungry or thinks this bowl of food is 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. When the husband saw that she didn't answer, he asked, "What is it made of?" So his wife told him everything. 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 three-silk. Nowadays, this kind of food has a unique flavor, which makes it popular with people all over the country.
Fish-flavored shredded pork is one of the main traditional flavors of Sichuan cuisine. The finished dish smells like fish, but its taste is not from fish, but is made by soaking red pepper, onion, ginger, garlic, sugar, salt and soy sauce. This method originated from Sichuan's unique method of cooking fish and seasoning, and has been widely used in Sichuan cuisine. It has the characteristics of salty, sweet, sour and spicy, highlighting the flavor of onion, ginger and garlic.
