Braised hairtail, sweet and sour hairtail, pan-fried hairtail, etc. are all very delicious recipes.

The preparation method of hairtail is very simple and the tastes are diverse. You can choose a delicious way according to your own preferences.

1. Braised hairtail is the most common way to cook hairtail. We first clean the hairtail and marinate it with onions, ginger and cooking wine for about an hour to remove the fishy smell inside.

Pour flour into the plate, put the hairtail segments into the flour and coat them. Pour a little oil into the pan. After the oil is hot, fry the hairtail until golden brown on both sides. It is best to use a non-stick pan here to avoid breaking up the hairtail.

Use the remaining oil to stir-fry the onion, ginger, and garlic until fragrant. Add Sichuan peppercorns. If you like spicy food, add more dried chili peppers. Add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, cooking wine, oyster sauce, and a few rock sugars. Add the fried hairtail.

Stir well in the pot, add water to cover the hairtail, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat for 20 minutes to reduce the juice.

2. Sweet and sour hairtail. Sweet and sour hairtail is a dish that is very suitable for children. The preparation method is somewhat similar to braised hairtail.

Marinate the hairtail fish for an hour as well, coat the surface with a layer of flour, put it in a pan and fry until both sides are golden brown.

Leave a little oil in the pot. When the oil is hot, add onions, ginger, star anise and fried hairtail.

Add vinegar, soy sauce and cooking wine and stir-fry until fragrant, pour boiling water to cover the hairtail, finally add a few spoons of sugar, a small amount of salt and pepper, bring to a boil and simmer for a while over high heat to reduce the juice, sprinkle some chopped green onion before serving.

3. Pan-fried hairtail. Pan-fried hairtail is a delicacy that is delicious both in the mouth and in the mouth. It can be used as a snack.

After the hairtail is cleaned, add shredded ginger, green onions, tangerine peel, and cooking wine and mix well. Marinate overnight. Coat the surface of the fish pieces with a layer of flour. Heat oil in a pan. When the oil is hot, put the hairtail directly into the pan and fry until both sides are cooked.

Golden brown, we should not keep turning when frying the fish, because the fish pieces are very fragile during the frying process, wait until it gradually takes shape before turning.

The pan-fried hairtail made using this method does not feel fishy at all and is very delicious.
