Hometown Cuisine in Hubei--steamed Wuchang Fish
1.
Wash one piece of Wuchang fish (about 400 grams)
2.
A few scallions, shredded ginger
3.
Place the scallion and some ginger on the bottom of the plate
4.
Put some ginger shreds into the belly of the fish, cut 3 flower knives on the back of the fish, and spread a thin layer of salt (a small amount of salt) evenly on the body of the fish
5.
After the water in the pot is boiled, put the fish into the pot
6.
After 8 minutes of high heat steaming, turn off the heat, and then steam for 7 minutes (don’t serve it out immediately after turning off the fire, wait 7 minutes and then open the lid to call it virtual steaming)
7.
After the fish is out of the pot, sprinkle with chopped green onion, top with light soy sauce and hot oil, a fresh and delicious steamed Wuchang fish is complete
Tips:
The last step of steaming is very important. If omitted, the taste of the fish will be compromised; for steamed fish, the weight of the fish should be less than 600 grams, which is convenient for steaming and serving.
