Home-style recipe for bad fish:

Main ingredients: crucian carp, honey, green onion, ginger, dried chili, star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, bay leaves.

1. Clean the fish, then dry it in the sun, brush a layer of honey on the top, and brush a layer of honey on both the front and back sides. Brush the honey evenly so that the honey is colored, and then cool it down.

2. Cut some green onions first, then cut some ginger slices. The ginger can be cut larger, and the green onions can be cut larger. Put the green onions and ginger into a plate, prepare a dried chili, a star anise, and a small handful of Sichuan peppercorns. Prepare another fragrant leaf.

3. Pour oil into the pot. You can put chopsticks into the oil pot. If there are bubbles, it’s enough (or put your palms on the oil and it will be obviously hot). Turn to medium heat and put Put the fish in the oil pan and start frying. Shake the pan during the frying process to prevent it from sticking. Fry until both sides are golden and take it out. After frying, remove it to control the oil.

4. Prepare the pressure cooker, put larger onion slices and ginger slices into the bottom of the pot to remove the fishy smell, put the fish with its back down and its belly up, and pour in the soup later. The juice is more flavorful, so the fish is neatly packed.

5. Pour oil into the pot, add Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, and bay leaves and stir-fry until fragrant. After stir-frying, add onions, ginger, and dried chili peppers, then add the prepared sauce, add water, and cook over high heat. Turn on the heat. After the sauce is cooked, turn off the heat. Pour the cooked sauce into the pressure cooker, cover with the lid, and simmer for 20 minutes. After simmering, let it cool to add more flavor.
