Hairtail has few tender thorns and delicious taste; and has high nutritional value. Chinese medicine believes that hairtail can warm the stomach and invigorate deficiency, moisturize the skin and have cosmetic effects.
Both my mother and son like to eat octopus, especially after the mother gradually loses her teeth, she rarely eats other fish except octopus and sea bass. When I went to the market to buy vegetables that day, I happened to hear the vendors selling chilled wideband fish. When we approached, we saw the octopus with fish bones (local dialect). Generally we think that octopus is not as good as the original octopus, but we think of the fat The thorns are also thick, and the old lady can eat with confidence; so we picked the 3 best and most whole hairtails and put them on the scale; the good guys, the 3 hairtails are about 2 catties big enough.
Before cooking, I was worried that the thickness of the meat would not be easy to taste, so I divided it into three steps: marinating, frying and braising. My son said that today's hairtail is enjoyable~~~

Tips:

1. The octopus is wide and thick and marinated in advance to taste and remove fishy
2. Fry the cornstarch to keep the meat crispy on the outside and tender on the inside
3. When frying the fish, turn on the medium and high heat to make the skin of the fish fast and not easy to stick to the pan
4. Use a non-stick pan for frying fish to save trouble and fast. Those who don’t have it can heat up the wok first and then pour the frying pan to make it easy to stick.
