Tips:
1. Wash the octopus in the rice water, which can remove part of the fishy smell and wash it clean. When washing, pay attention to all the things in the stomach, remove the black film, and clean the black in front of the fish bones to expose The true color of the fish. See the raw material picture, there is a piece of specially turned over. The white scales cannot be washed off, as I will talk about later.
2. I like the original flavor of the ingredients, so the unused seasonings must not be used, which will destroy the taste. But to make hairtail, the green onions, ginger, and cooking wine must be indispensable. A small amount of white sugar is used to improve the freshness.
3. When making braised octopus in the past, it was fried on both sides, but it was easy to break when it was turned over. When eating, no one was the whole. Later, I thought about frying only one side, and put the seasoning and water. The first time I pushed it after adding water, confirm Don’t stick to the pan, do not move it afterwards, add salt and push the sauce a few times to mix the seasoning. In this way, the fish pieces will not be broken. The hairtail does not need to be processed in advance, such as sticking cornstarch on both sides or Eggs are no longer needed. In addition, the middle heat will be simmered for five minutes, and the high heat will collect the juice for three minutes, so there is no need to marinate the fish in advance to taste, it will still taste in. In this way, it is more convenient and successful at one time.
4. When the green onion and ginger choke the pot quickly, get off the fish immediately. Because I have to take a picture today, some of the onion and white are burnt. It affects the visual effect.
5. The ratio of light soy sauce to dark soy sauce is 3:1. In this way, the fish will not be too dark, and the taste will be more fresh. Add less salt later, because the soy sauce contains salt.
6.If you like spicy food, you can put three or five dried chili peppers when you choke the pot.
