Key points and solutions for crispy bone fish:

⑵: "The fish should not be too big"

This dish does not necessarily require small yellow croaker, you can also use small crucian carp. class. But no matter what fish you use, remember not to use too big a fish. That’s really not the amount of energy-intensive cooking time our family can afford. And this thing, crispy fish, is just like soup dumplings. The bigger it gets the harder it is to do. Just make it at home.

⑵: "It is best to prepare a casserole for this dish"

From the recipe and ingredients of this dish, it can be seen that using a casserole is definitely more suitable and convenient. In fact, the real imperial crispy bone fish is cooked in a special casserole made by Handan Cizhou Kiln, but we don’t have to prepare a special pot just to eat one fish. Friends who are interested can also prepare one.

⑶: "Fish must be fully dried before frying"

If the fish body is not dry, it will be a bit dangerous to fry. If the surface is covered with water, it may also cause the fish to fry. Not pretty. We just need to use high oil temperature to fry the fish until it is completely formed. Only in this way can the fish withstand long simmering. As for whether it's fried or not, we don't need to worry too much. Anyway, there is plenty of time to simmer slowly.

⑶: "Low heat, the soup noodles are slightly boiling"

After all the ingredients are put into the pot, bring the soup in the pot to a boil, and then turn down the heat. How low is the fire? Basically the soup in the pot seems to be boiling, or the noodle soup is slightly boiling. Leave it this way for about 40 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the fish. It is estimated that it will take about 3 hours for 1 catties.
