As one of my favorite dishes, this is a must-order dish every time I go to Huangshan or Anhui restaurant.

Later, I had the opportunity to meet a friend from a farmhouse in Hongcun. The smelly mandarin fish marinated in ancient ways by her mother tasted so good, so she often ordered fresh marinated stinky mandarin fish from her.

I also asked her about the practice of authentic Huangshan stinky mandarin fish.
After several trials, I will share the successful recipes with everyone here, and make delicious stinky mandarin fish at home together😄

Huangshan Smelly Mandarin Fish that Can't Stop After One Bite

2. Wash the fish and dry the water

3. After drying the water, draw a grid on the outer fish

4. Heat the pan and pour in the oil. Fry the fish until golden on both sides over a medium-to-low heat

5. Fry to one side and then turn over and fry (be careful not to turn randomly during the process)

6. Put the fried fish out, pour green onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, and dried chili in the pot, stir fry until fragrant

7. Pour the fried fish into the pot, add cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, vinegar, rock sugar, lard, and finally heat the water to cover the fish body. After the high heat is brought to a boil, cover the pot and turn to a medium-low heat to cook. Turn it over once in the middle.
Add red pepper and green pepper one minute before serving

8. After collecting the juice, sprinkle with chopped green onion and coriander (or not add it)

9. The smelly mandarin fish meat is garlic clove-shaped, the meat is delicate, the taste is smooth and tender, and the taste is mellow.

Tips:
1. Clean the fish and dry it, otherwise you won’t be able to get close to you when you fry it.
2. Pull the slanting grid on the fish body to make it taste better
3. When frying the fish, fry it for about 2-3 minutes on one side. Don't turn it randomly. It will be a little uglier if it is rotten, and it can be eaten without affecting the taste😉
4. Step 7: Add more hot water, try to immerse or lie flush with the fish body for about 15 minutes
