Braised mandarin fish are as follows:

Ingredients: 700g mandarin fish, one star anise, one spoonful of salt, two slices of onion, half a pot of boiling water, two spoonfuls of sugar, ten cloves of garlic, two spoonfuls of cooking wine, three spoonfuls of aged vinegar, two spoonfuls of soy sauce and two slices of ginger.

Scrape off fish scales, remove internal organs and wash them with a dental cleaner. Prepare onion, ginger, pepper and star anise garlic, and cut several knives on the fish. Sprinkle some salt on the fish and marinate for 20 minutes. The oil is hot, put the dried fish in and fry it. Fry one side and continue to fry the other side. Put the fish aside, leave some oil and stir-fry all the seasonings. Add cooking wine. Add old vinegar and cook. Add soy sauce. Add another spoonful of sugar. Add boiled water that hasn't touched the fish, cover the pot and simmer on low heat.
