1. List of ingredients:
The main ingredient of diving fish is freshly slaughtered fish, which can be grass carp, perch, mandarin fish and so on, which have tender meat and delicious flavor. In addition to fish, this dish will also include ingredients such as bean sprouts, pickled peppers, shredded ginger and minced garlic to add texture and flavor.
2. Preparation steps:
First, wash the freshly slaughtered fish, remove the scales and internal organs, and cut the fish meat into slices or pieces with a knife. Then, blanch the fish slices or pieces in boiling water, and fish them out when they are seven or eight minutes cooked, and drain them.
Next, put the blanched fish slices or pieces into a bowl, add salt, pepper, cooking wine, egg white, cornstarch and other seasonings, scratch well and marinate for some time. Meanwhile, stir-fry the bean sprouts, pickled peppers, shredded ginger, minced garlic and other ingredients and spread them on the fish fillets or pieces.
Finally, steam the fish fillets or pieces together with the side dishes in a steamer and remove the fish when it is fully cooked. Meanwhile, pour hot oil over the fish, add a little soy sauce, vinegar, chopped green onion and other seasonings, and serve.
During the cooking process of this dish, the fish is blanched and fished out as quickly as it is dived, hence the name "diving fish". The advantage of doing so is that it can maintain the tender taste and nutritional value of the fish, while making it easier to flavor the fish.
