Boiled fish and assorted vegetables are traditional dishes for wedding and birthday banquets in Longyan. People here often regard whether these two famous dishes can be made as the standard of whether a banquet is rich or not, so there is a saying that "there is no banquet without assorted fish"

The production method of melted fish is: according to a certain proportion, chop pork belly, seafood (dried fish or shrimp, followed by shrimp skin), crisp peanuts, scallion, mushrooms, fresh winter bamboo shoots, etc. Add seasoning such as monosodium glutamate, egg paste and a little flour, stir well, knead into a round cake with a diameter of about 3 inches and a thickness of about half an inch, then fry in an oil pan until golden brown, and take it out for later use.

When serving, cut the cake into pieces, put it in a large bowl, enlarge the cabbage or bean sprouts at the bottom, pour chicken soup or fresh soup of pig bones, and steam in a steamer for 10~ 15 minutes.

The production of boiled fish seems simple, but the texture is quite different. To make this dish well, there are many tricks besides paying attention to the materials. At banquets, diners often judge the chef's skills by the taste of melted fish and various foods. The boiled fish cooked by a famous chef can be eaten with chopsticks, but it is crisp and tender at the entrance, fragrant and refreshing, with endless aftertaste.

The origin is really not detailed. I'm sorry
