I don't know what's wrong these days. I really want to eat stewed fish in a big pot.
I have been to many places and eaten many special fish. Hunan chopped pepper fish head is smooth and tender, and tastes delicious after eating. Sweet and Sour Mandarin Fish cooked by Subang is crisp and tender outside, sweet and sour, and has a long aftertaste; White fish in Taihu Lake is tender and smooth, which melts in the mouth and tastes better when steamed. The grouper in Xiangshan, Ningbo is delicious, delicious. Sichuan pickled fish is spicy, sour and delicious, which makes people want to stop ... These special fish have different styles and tastes, which represent the food characteristics and cultures of different regions and enjoy a high reputation in the recipes of China people. Eating this kind of food once in a while will be a good taste experience. If you eat it regularly, it is estimated that few people can eat it. As the saying goes, a person is nourished by water and soil, and hometown dishes and mother dishes are the most impressive ones.
Cook in a large iron pot
A large iron pot is made of pig iron, one meter in diameter. It was put on the stove and heated with firewood. If used properly, a large iron pot can be used for more than 10 years. Large iron pots are widely used, such as boiling, frying, stewing and steaming, and all kinds of food processing methods can be competent. The taste stewed in a large iron pot can't be reproduced in modern kitchens. Stewed fish in a large iron pot is a specialty of the large iron pot.
There is a river in front of our village, called sow river, which is about 10 meter wide. There are many fish and shrimp in the river. When I was a child, I often fished in the river and caught more than ten crucian carp in half a day. Crucian carp is a good ingredient for stewing fish in a large pot.
Cauldron stewed fish
Fish stew pays attention to cooperation. I am small and can only make a fire. My mother put the fish in order, and added a proper amount of lard to the pot. After the lard melted, she added onions, ginger and garlic to the pot. Then, she added a few spoonfuls of water to the pot, covered the lid and boiled the water. When the pot started to steam, she lifted the lid and poured the fish into the pot, adding seasonings such as salt, soy sauce and pepper. At this time, there is one more important thing to do, that is, cooking.
Delicious cauldron stewed fish
A pot of fish and a pot of tortillas is a hearty meal.
Dad came home on time, and when we sat down at the dinner table, mom served the cooked crucian carp and tortillas. Our family ate and laughed, which was often staged when we were young.
We usually eat crucian carp, and we eat carp on holidays.
Carp is very popular in our local area. It means wealth and good luck. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that carp yue longmen, everything goes well in the coming year. Therefore, carp is always indispensable on the dining table of every household in the New Year, and the practice of carp fish is also stew in a large pot. The bigger carp weighs four or five pounds and needs to be stewed for about half an hour. Carp is delicious, and fish is as delicious as fish soup.
Later, our local people began to eat silver carp, and the custom of eating carp during the Spring Festival was gradually replaced by eating silver carp. Compared with carp, silver carp has more fish and better taste, but no matter how to change fish, the way of eating fish with tortillas has not changed. It is a classic combination that has existed since I can remember, and it is also the most familiar flavor in my memory.
Stewed fish in a cauldron may seem unremarkable, but which home-cooked dish is not? The simple appearance of food carries the profound friendship of the host and is the taste of home and family.
Near the Spring Festival, I began to be restless, and the greedy worm in my stomach began to stir. Eating together is the simplest and simplest wish of all China people, and it will take some time to realize this wish.
Now my heart has flown to that familiar place. I look forward to that day coming soon. At that time, I will make up for the deficit this year with delicious food and repay my parents with filial piety. I am looking forward to it. I am looking forward to it.
