How to cook woodchuck?

Bonefish, so called because it is smoked and dried like the usual firewood, and because it is as hard as firewood so the Cantonese call this type of fish as bonefish. In fact, the Japanese call it bonito or wood fish, is the tuna family of bonito, remove the head and tail to remove the viscera, take the belly of the fish on the piece of meat, will be smoked and dried, the hardness is not less than wood. Chai fish is good for strengthening the spleen and stomach, and benefiting yin and blood. In Guangdong, it is commonly used in soups and congee.

Processing firewood fish is not difficult, just more time-consuming. To be steamed first and then pull out the spines and then smoked dry, and then sun, and then dry and moldy, until it is like wood can be. Just take it out and cut it into thin slices when you want to eat it.

In Taiwan's Qixingtan, there is a firewood fish museum, which was actually a firewood fish processing factory before.

The fish is often used in soups or porridge because of its tough flesh. In Japanese cuisine, it is often used in soups, and is therefore called the soul of the soup. The simplest "cat rice" is to put some slices of woodchuck on white rice and pour some sauce on it, which is indeed a very suitable food for "meow stars" to eat. When I went to Taiwan, I ate a similar dish to cat rice, but with more leeks and tofu, and they like to use woodchuck to flavor the cold tofu. The combination of leeks and fish was beyond my expectations of Taiwanese cuisine. The leeks, blanched in water, become extremely soft, lying quietly next to the hard slices of woodchuck, like lovers, snuggling with each other, bathed in a well-mixed sauce of minced ginger, garlic, and Japanese soy sauce, one can not help but think of those who have sworn an oath of eternal love.

Guangdong people are best at taking the woodfish porridge, the most common is the peanut woodfish porridge, the first night first peanuts soak in water, soak overnight, the next day will be the woodfish cleaned and soaked for about an hour, pork ribs blanched and popped, and then rice, peanuts, woodfish are put into a rice cooker to cook for about forty minutes, and then add salt, green onions, white pepper can be.
