Ingredients
How to cook catfish braised tofu
1. Prepare one catfish.
2. Prepare tofu, cut into thin slices, slice ginger, and cut green onion into sections. One star anise is a spare.
3. Prepare a wok, add an appropriate amount of water, blanch the water, and add the catfish (to be honest, the fish is very alive in the pot, I can’t bear to chop it with a knife, so blanch it in boiling water). Actually, there is no need to blanch it. .
4. Chop it into pieces, put it in the pot again, pour cooking wine, vinegar, ginger, and garlic into whole pieces without cutting them, and put the green onions into the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer.
5. Simmer for about 20 minutes. The juice has obviously been absorbed a lot.
6. It’s time to add the tofu cubes, add salt, add the tofu cubes and continue to simmer~~ After a few minutes, turn off the heat.
7. Take out the pot. Serve on a plate. Sprinkle with coriander leaves, drizzle with a little sesame oil and serve! Ready to eat
Tips
After the fish is put into the pot, bring to a boil over high heat for a few minutes, then turn to low heat and simmer.
Put in the tofu and cover the pot. Simmer for a while before serving.
Tips
1. When selecting catfish, it is best not to be too small. 600-1000 grams is fine. Farmed catfish have eight beards, wild ones have four.
2. It is best to throw away the catfish roe and do not eat it. Some fish sellers will not help you throw it away. You must remove it when you come back to clean it.
3. Catfish is slippery to the touch, but after scalding it with boiling water, a layer of white "skin" will appear on the whole body, which is easy to wash off. After washing it off, the catfish will no longer be slippery.
4. Fry the peppers, onions, ginger, garlic and other condiments over low heat, and the cooked dishes will be very fragrant.
5. Catfish is very tender, so you don’t need to cook it for a long time, but it shouldn’t be cooked for too short a time, 15-20 minutes is fine.
6. Catfish and tofu can also be cooked with sauce, but I don’t think it is suitable for summer. The flavor of the sauce is very strong, so it will be more refreshing when cooked this way. Very tasty. Especially delicious.
