Historical origin
Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a business family in Sichuan. Their family likes eating fish very much, and they are also very particular about seasonings, so when they cook fish,
Put some seasonings such as onion, ginger, garlic, wine, vinegar, soy sauce, etc.
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 felt that this dish was not very delicious, and maybe the men at home could not explain it clearly when they came 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, put it in his mouth and swallowed it before eating. Before waiting for a minute, he couldn't wait to ask his wife what this dish was made of. When she stammered, she was surprised to find that her husband repeatedly praised the delicious food. Seeing that she didn't answer, she asked, "What is it made of?" My wife told him the story in detail.
Moreover, this dish is fried with the ingredients of grilled fish and other dishes, which will have an endless aftertaste, 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 is welcomed by the people all over the country and then swept the country.
