Fish meal is a famous local snack in Hengyang, Hunan Province, which is made of fresh fish and rice flour as the main raw materials. Fish meal is a kind of rice noodles that Hengyang people often eat for breakfast. Generally speaking, rice noodles can be divided into minced meat powder, three fresh powder, hot and sour powder, cheese bone powder, beef powder and beef brisket powder according to the raw materials added after cooking.
Fish meal, as its name implies, is added with fish. The origin of Hengyang fish meal should be traced back to Zhajiang fish meal in Hengyang County, which was famous as early as last century. However, due to the inconvenient transportation, poor materials and backward economy at that time, its development was limited to Hengyang County. It was not until 1985 that the first fishmeal shop was opened in Chengxidu Town, Hengyang County.
The practice of whole grain fish meal is not complicated. The key is that the fish should be fresh, the soup should be thick, and the heat should be moderate. Generally, the pig's bones should be smashed and simmered for at least one night. The key to fish meal operation lies in the ripening process of fish. Kill the fish now, cut it into pieces, burn the oil in the pot until it is red, put the fresh fish pieces in the pot for a little frying, add the wine of Xidu Lake, then stir fry quickly, add salt and thick soup, then add ginger slices, garlic, etc., cover and cook.
But don't keep uncovering the lid and turning the pot, which will make the fish soup smell fishy. After cooking for a period of time, the fish soup turns milky white. At this time, you can remove the cover to taste, then add fresh vegetables and serve. Sprinkle the scalded rice noodles (especially Zhajiang rice noodles) with fresh fish soup, and a bowl of fish powder is done.
