The green disc in the ingredients of yellow croaker soup in Man Han Quan Banquet is Chinese kale slices, which are introduced in detail as follows:

In Tsui Hark's movie Man Han Quan Banquet, the beauty and amorous feelings of yellow croaker soup with gold medal dishes were vividly interpreted by chef Liao Jie: the yellow croaker with intact fish body was rolled and fried in hot oil, with the onion at the bottom and the Chinese kale at the heart close to the skin. However, Liao Jie in the film has lost his sense of taste for many years because of the heavy blow, so this dish, which looks like more than 9%, can only stay in the stage of visual enjoyment.

Since it is the top dish in the Manchu-Han banquet in the Qing Dynasty, the yellow croaker with soup can't escape naturally, and the materials are expensive and the workmanship is complicated. Therefore, even in Beijing, where the palace official dishes are preserved and developed, there are only a few places to eat it, which is why the folk legends about it are even more fascinating. Chef Zhao Guangyou of Jianyi Mansion told us that there are three most difficult parts of this dish: one is to debone the whole fish, the other is to cook the soup, and the third is to pour the soup and fry it.

As we all know, the strangest and rarest thing about the soup-filled yellow croaker is that it is full of beans, but the whole body is watertight, so this technique of removing intestines and bones without breaking the belly has become the foundation of everything. The trick of taking bones from raw fish lies in the fish's mouth and gills. Take out the contents of the belly with a small cut, then wash it regularly to remove fishy smell, fill it with soup, and then seal it for firing. In addition to the cooking skills with high difficulty coefficient, its fresh and delicious taste has also pushed it to the top of famous dishes. The soup here is made of eight kinds of rare seafood, such as scallop, bird's nest, shark's fin, skirt, abalone and sea cucumber, and boiled with clear chicken soup. The finished soup is as clear as light tea, and the bottom pattern of the soup bowl can be seen at a glance, but it tastes delicious and mellow. Diced fungus is simmered in this soup, poured into the belly of the fish together with the soup, and then sealed and fried. When serving, all the soup is sealed inside the fish. Pick up a piece of fresh and white fish with chopsticks, and the soup in the belly will slowly drip out wrapped in hot air and fragrance. The dynamic and quiet delicious food is like a splash-ink landscape painting in the splendor, and the elegant and exquisite Chinese food taste is revealed in this gurgling flow.

To make

Yellow croaker weighing 6-8 Jin is selected, and aged ham, chinese forest frog oil, shark's fin, fish lips, pearl soup pills, thick chicken soup and Chinese kale are used as main materials. Taking lard, sesame oil, salt and pepper as ingredients, the fish scales and gills are removed first, then the skin of the fish head is removed to remove the peculiar smell, a small mouth is opened near the abdomen of the fish tail, the internal organs are taken out, and sorghum wine is poured into the belly of the fish from the small mouth to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor of the fish, then the fish is hung in the shade to drain the water for later use, and the developed shark's fin, fish lips, chinese forest frog oil, pearl soup pills and ham are mixed with thick water. After shaping, it is cut into sections and stuffed into the belly of the fish. Finally, the small mouth of the belly of the fish is tied tightly with a rope, and the fish body is evenly covered with crisp pulp. It is soaked in oil at 8℃ until golden brown, taken out and placed on a large plate. The Chinese kale is cut into thin round pieces and thickened with chicken soup.

In the process of immersion and frying, the thick soup and ingredients in the belly of fish are completely dissolved due to heat. When the belly of fish is cut open with a knife, the jade-like soup slowly flows out with crystal white pearl soup pills and various ingredients.
