step

1

Scales, gills and viscera of yellow croaker are removed, washed, sliced with onion, ginger and garlic for later use, and dried with red pepper and star anise.

2

Dry the water on both sides of yellow croaker with oil-absorbing paper, cut several knives diagonally along the fish body into a diamond shape, and pat dry the starch on both sides.

three

Heat hot oil in a hot pot, add ginger slices, stir-fry slightly, add croaker along the side of the pot, and fry over medium heat, focusing on the fish head, so that the fish won't smell fishy.

four

Fry the fish on one side in medium heat, then turn the other side and fry it on low heat until the fish turns yellow. Add onion, garlic, star anise and dried red pepper, stir the oil in the pan and heat the fish.

five

Add cooking wine and soy sauce.

six

Add hot water, cover the fish, add sugar and salt, cover the pot, and simmer for about 10 minutes (during which the soup is pushed onto the fish with a shovel). After the soup is concentrated, collect the juice on high fire, remove the star anise and dried red pepper, add chicken essence and shallots to taste, put the fish in a plate and pour the soup on the fish. It is delicious with a bowl of rice.
