Carp is suitable for
Sweet and sour fish
First, you need to prepare minced onions, minced ginger, and minced garlic, and pack the fish (the fins must be intact).
Make several cuts on the fish body (perpendicular to the fish body), and cut both sides evenly. Then rub salt on the surface and marinate for half an hour.
Prepare the batter, mix 2/5 starch + 3/5 flour with water to form a paste, and wrap the marinated fish in the batter.
At the same time, prepare the starch paste for making juice. . The quantity depends on personal preference. Not too little, at least enough to cover the entire fish.
Prepare a pot of hot oil, put the fish in and fry. First hold the tail of the fish and put the other parts into the hot oil, and use a spoon to pour the hot oil onto the fish
. Then put the fish in whole. When frying, use a spoon to pour oil on the upward side
to ensure even heating. You need to turn the fish over every once in a while. Be careful not to scatter it. . . . It takes about 10 to 15 minutes to fry.
While frying the fish, make the sauce: put a small amount of oil in another pot, then add a small amount of minced green onion and ginger, add water, bring to a boil, add cooking wine, sugar, MSG, and vinegar , very little soy sauce (to adjust the color). Add the remaining minced onion, ginger, and garlic, and slowly pour in the prepared starch paste while stirring. Give it a taste, it'll be fine.
After the fish is fried, put it on a plate, pour the sauce on it and serve it.
In this way, you need to eat it as soon as possible after pouring the juice, otherwise the taste will be much worse. Try to cook and eat as much as possible. If you need to bring it like me, be sure to bring the fish and seasoning separately, and heat it with the sauce before eating. In addition, fried fish is fried whole, so it requires more oil. The fish I used today weighed 1.7 pounds. When frying, I poured about 1.5 liters of oil into the pot... Fortunately, these can be reused for cooking without affecting the taste. (If the oil used to fry the fish has a smell or becomes opaque, you can cut the potatoes into cubes and fry them so that the oil will not have a fishy smell and the potatoes will have no smell. Use it to make other dishes.)
Be careful not to burn yourself when frying.
