How to cook chopped pepper? First of all, we should choose pepper. The pepper we choose is not the green pepper we usually use for cooking, but the dried red pepper. Use fresh, fleshy, long red peppers. This kind of pepper tastes refreshing and chewy. Then, remove the stalks and wash the peppers, and then the most important step is: chop them up, not too casually, nor too finely, so it is not convenient to clip them when eating. After the peppers are chopped, put them on a plate, add the right amount of seasoning and stir well. This cannot be used immediately. Instead, cover the plate with plastic wrap and marinate it for about a week. You can take it out and use it. Although it has been a long time, it tastes absolutely refreshing and delicious.
Secondly, how to choose the fish head for chopped pepper fish head? In fact, bighead carp is the best choice, that is, we often say silver carp, also known as chub head fish. The head of this fish is big and wide, which is about one third of its length. The gills and mouth are also relatively wide and the body is relatively flat. The abdomen of silver carp is grayish white, the back is indeed bluish black, and each fin is light gray. Fish scales are also thick and thin.
Its meat is very delicious and tender, which is very suitable for making fish heads with chopped peppers, which is why its market price is higher than that of silver carp. At the same time, it has the unique characteristics of low fat and high protein, which is helpful for improving people's memory, reinforcing weakness and expelling cold, strengthening the body and strengthening tendons, and can also effectively treat cough and other symptoms.
Chopped peppers and fish heads are ready, and the production stage begins. In order to let the taste into the fish head better, after the fish head is washed, it should be cut along the fish mouth with scissors to let the fish head unfold, and then a certain amount of seasoning should be added to restore the fish head to its original state and marinate for half an hour. This will not only make the fish more tender, but also remove the fishy smell of the fish itself!
After pickling, cover the fish head with chopped peppers prepared in advance. Add a proper amount of water to the pot, turn on a big fire, and when the water is hot, add the fish head and steam it. It will take about twenty minutes. If you are not at ease, you can look at the fish's eyes. If the fish's eyes protrude, it means they are ripe. Then turn off the fire, don't open the lid, and continue to stew for five minutes. After five minutes, you can take out the fish head, heat some oil in the pot, pour the hot oil on the chopped pepper and then enter the fish head.
In this way, a real fish head with chopped pepper is perfectly completed!
