The first time I ate tofu pudding fish, I went to Chengdu, Sichuan to visit my daughter who was studying in college there. My daughter took us to a roadside restaurant next to the school. After a while, we sat down and saw a plate of red food on the table. I picked up a fish fillet first, which should be grass carp. It feels tender on chopsticks and I can't wait to put it in my mouth. It is so fresh and smooth! I don't think it's spicy! Here comes another spoonful of tofu pudding. Sweet and smooth tofu pudding is wrapped in juice mixed with fresh fish fillets. It's delicious! So that you will remember its taste for a long time after you come back! Today, I cooked tofu pudding fish at home according to Mr. Kong's recipe. I used black fish fillets and tofu with fat inside. I finished it step by step according to the recipe. When I poured the fillets of red soup into the pot covered with tofu pudding, I sprinkled chopped green onion, minced garlic, red pepper, pepper and cumin powder, and finally I poured a spoonful of hot oil. Accompanied by this stinging sound, a stream of pepper, minced garlic, chopped green onion, pepper and cumin was made. The whole person is so excited! It turns out that it is really not difficult to cook tofu pudding fish at home!
Ingredients: 250g black fish fillet, 1 box of fat tofu,
Accessories: half a carrot, half an onion, 2 green and red peppers, a little celery, onion, ginger and garlic.
Seasoning: salad oil, chafing dish base 1, bean paste 1 spoon, 2 star anise, pepper, soy sauce and cumin powder.
Marinated fish ingredients: cooking wine, salt, egg white, corn starch.
Exercise:
The first step is to prepare auxiliary materials: half carrot, half onion, 2 green and red peppers, a little celery, onion, ginger and garlic cut into small pieces for later use.
Step 2, marinate the fillets: This step is still very important. Put the fillets in a large bowl, add cooking wine and a little salt, and grab them in one direction for about 3 minutes until the fish becomes sticky. Then pour in half an egg white and continue to grasp it evenly by hand for about 2 minutes; Finally, add a little corn starch and stir evenly to make the fish covered with starch.
The third step is to deal with tofu. I use tofu with inner fat sold outside. Although there is no smell of tofu brain, it is very convenient! Blanch the tofu in a pot for later use.
The fourth step is to make soup base: this step is the key to delicious tofu pudding fish, where the soul lies! Stir-fry star anise and pepper in an oil pan, then add garlic slices, ginger slices, onion slices and celery slices until fragrant, then add carrots, green peppers and chopped onions and stir-fry until fragrant.
Then add a spoonful of bean paste, stir well, and add half a pot of hot water to boil.
After the soup is boiled, add some soy sauce and a small piece of hot pot bottom material and cook for about 2 minutes. Friendly reminder, hot pot bottom material can be bought at the seasoning shop outside. I just bought a packet of red soup hot pot bottom material in the vegetable market shop, which is not bad.
Use a strainer to remove the side dishes and seasonings from the pot and throw them away. The rest is the red soup we want.
Step 5: Rinse the fish fillets: quickly put the marinated fish fillets into the pot and cook for 1 for 2 minutes. When the fish fillets change color, they are cooked. Turn off the heating.
Step 6: Make fish with bean curd brain: first put the bean curd brain in the bottom of the pot, then pour in the fish fillets together with the red soup, sprinkle with chopped green onion, minced garlic, red pepper, peppercorns and cumin powder, and finally pour in a tablespoon of hot oil to stir-fry until fragrant.
Tips:
Grass carp and snakehead can make fish fillets. If you are good at using a knife, you can go home and slice it yourself. If not, you can ask the fish seller for help. Actually, I recommend Longli fish and Basha fish, which are convenient and delicious.
If you kill fish at home, make fillets, fry fish heads and fish tails in a frying pan, add water to stew a broth, and then use this fish soup to make a red soup, it will be even more delicious.
