When I came to Fujian, I found a kind of hairtail, which was small in size and silver-like. It was more silvery and shining than ordinary hairtail, and the price was slightly higher.
The locals say that this kind of hairtail is called pearl hairtail. The meat is very tender, not suitable for frying, just use a little soy sauce to cook for a few minutes, and the rice in the soup is also very flavorful.

Ingredients

400g Pearl Fish
2 pieces Shallots
Some Oil
4 cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Soy Sauce
2g Ginger
Sugar
Rice Wine

Boiled Octopus

1. Prepare the ingredients: cleaned scallion, green onion, ginger and garlic.

2. Cut the green onion, ginger, and garlic for later use.

3. Make a bowl of sauce: rice wine, soy sauce, sugar, salt and stock.

4. Pour a small amount of oil, add onion, ginger and garlic first.

5. After frying the aroma, pour the sauce into the pot.

6. Get the octopus when the sauce is boiling.

7. Cook it for about 5 minutes and it's almost done. This fish is very tender and will loosen after cooking for a long time.

Tips:
1. This kind of pearl octopus is tender and easy to loose when fried. It is best to boil or steam.
2. This is a fast-handed dish, the fire will be fired after the preparation is done, otherwise it will be in a hurry.
3. Fry the pan with green onion, ginger and garlic first, then boil the sauce, then put the octopus into the boil. Only in this order can there be a good taste.
4. If you like spicy food, add some chili to enhance the flavor.
