Crucian Carp, Red Bean and Zucchini Soup
1.
Chixiaodou is soaked in warm water 30 minutes in advance, so it is easy to boil.
2.
The crucian carp cleans the blood water, removes the gills and the contents of the fish belly, and cleans the black belly and the black belly with a knife. This step is very important to remove the fishy.
3.
Cut the zucchini into pieces about 3*3cm, slice the ginger for later use
4.
The key to the whole process is to fry the fish. Start the frying pan, add ginger when the oil is hot, fry until the ginger is dry, put the crucian carp into the pot (first medium heat, then slow frying), when the fish body turns yellow on both sides, cook in the cooking wine (rice wine is also acceptable) , Immediately cover the pot for a few seconds to remove the fishy smell of the wine.
5.
Add 1500 grams of cold water and add the soaked red beans. After the high fire is boiled (you can put the zucchini at this time), use a small fire to boil slowly (about 2 hours).
6.
This time I switched to the multi-function rice cooker after the fire was boiled, and set the soup function for 2 hours.
7.
Put a little salt before turning off the heat. After the fish soup is ready, drink it while it is hot. I usually don't want fish.
Tips:
Points to note when choosing crucian carp: Live crucian carp must be used; crucian carp is best to be four to five inches long. Tender melon for zucchini, tender melon flesh is smooth and light. Chixiaodou is not a red bean. Chixiaodou is a little slenderer than red bean.
