Pickled fish


Tonight, I cooked a dish called pickled fish, which is a famous Chinese dish. It's easy to cook as well.

The ingredients are Basa freshwater fillets, pickled cabbages and tofu puffs.
Here are the cooking steps!

Step 1: Put some salt and white pepper on both side of fillets and grasp uniformly. Then add some starch and cooking wine on the fillets, and make all the fillets marinated for 20 minutes. It's conductive to the fish fillets into the flavour.
Step 2: Cut the pickled cabbages and garlic into small pieces and slice the ginger.
Step 3: Heat the pan and add proper amount of oil. Add some prickly ash, ginger, garlic and fry for 2-3 minutes with a small fire. Then, add the pickled cabbages into the pan, and still fry for 5-6 minutes.

Step 4: Pour some water and let the soup simmer for 15 minutes. Finally, put all the fish fillets and tofu puffs
into the pan. Then, wait for both side of the fillets to be discolored, and turn off the heat immediately. This process lasts for one or two minutes, which is very quick. Otherwise, the fish fillets would be cooked too long, which would reduce the taste of fillets.

This dish is easily to cook and could retain the flavour of fish. The taste of pickled cabbages are very good as well. Hope you would enjoy it!
