Winter is the time when hairtail meat is at its most plump. In order to survive the winter, hairtail fish have accumulated rich fat in their bodies. In contrast, the meat is thick, tender, oily, and tastes particularly good. Maoyu is a fish with thick flesh and few spines. It is rich in nutrients and easy to prepare. It can usually be stir-fried or stir-fried. I have to mention that when hairtail is fried in the pot, the aroma usually fills the whole room, which is particularly appetizing. Below we have compiled three ways to make fish tape at home. If you like it, you must try it.

First: Braised Hairtail

This is a classic way to eat hairtail, from snacks to big ones. The hairtail produced in this way is bright and attractive in color, the fish meat is tender and smooth, and salty and appetizing, especially on the plate.

Specific manufacturing method

Step one: prepare ingredients. 2 medium-sized hairtail fish, appropriate amount of ginger, onion and garlic.

Step 2: Wash the hairtail and cut into 10 cm long sections. Chop onions, ginger and garlic.

Step 3: Add minced ginger, 2 spoons of cooking wine and half a spoon of salt to the hairtail, mix well and marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 4: Pour 40 ml of water into 30 g of flour to make a batter and set aside.

Step 5: Pour appropriate amount of oil into the pot. After the oil is hot, place the batter-coated hairtail in the pan and fry until golden brown on both sides. Take it out. (Fried hairtail must be shaped and then turned over, otherwise it will easily stick to the pan and make the surface of the hairtail incomplete. If you want to save fuel, you can cook it in a pot and choose the half-fried and half-fried method.)

Step 6: Change Pour a little cooking oil into the pot, add ginger, onion and garlic, and stir-fry two star anise until fragrant.

Step 7: Add the hairtail fish to the pot and stir-fry.

The second method: dry-fried hairtail

The hairtail is golden and crispy, delicious and attractive. It can be said that it is not only a dish but also a snack. Even people who don’t like fish can eat a few pieces, especially when watching TV dramas.

The first step: prepare the ingredients. Two hairtail fish (wash and cut into sections for later use), appropriate amount of minced ginger, appropriate amount of chopped green onion.

Step 2: Pickle. Mix the hairtail part with minced ginger, chopped green onion, cooking wine and salt, and marinate for about half an hour.

Step 3: Pat a layer of corn flour on the surface of the salted hairtail fish.

Step 4: Put an appropriate amount of oil into the pot. When the oil temperature is 50% hot, you can put the hairtail into the pot.

Step 5: Fry over low heat and turn over when the surface is golden brown.

Step 6: Fry both sides until golden brown.
