National Confinement Meal at The Chinese Table = Crucian Tofu Soup for The Second Child
1.
I picked 2 crucian carp that was the most jubilant just after leaving the water.
2.
1 piece of fresh tofu.
3.
Cut the tofu into pieces.
4.
Cut the shallots into flowers.
5.
Wash the crucian carp to remove the gills, internal organs and black film on the inner wall. Spread fine salt evenly on the crucian carp body, marinate for half an hour, and control the water to dry for later use. After this treatment, the fish will not stick to the pan or break easily during frying. Put the pot on the induction cooker; wipe the pot with ginger to prevent the fish from sticking to the pot. Preheat the pot first, pour in new oil and saute the ginger slices, slowly put the crucian carp on both sides and fry it.
6.
When frying fish, it is better to use medium heat, so that the fish will not be scorched or broken. After the fish is heated, it shrinks quickly and will not stick the meat or skin to the pan. As the oil temperature slowly rises, shake the wok. It is best to hold the crucian in your hand; you can turn it over at any time. Flip the fish body and fry until the fish is dead and bloodless; fry until the crucian carp is browned on both sides. Add cooking wine to avoid fishy smell.
7.
Add three cups of boiling water.
8.
Boil in boiling water until the crucian carp tofu soup is creamy and rich.
9.
Add tofu when the soup is thicker and whiter.
10.
Sprinkle the chopped green onions into the soup.
11.
At this time, turn off the heat and add 1 tablespoon of salt.
12.
Sprinkle in pepper to increase flavour. Add chicken powder seasoning of your choice. Don't let it go.
Tips:
1. Put the oil in the pot and saute the ginger slices, add the crucian carp and fry it on both sides.
2. If you like a refreshing and refreshing soup, always use a low heat, so that the soup will be transparent. I like the thick milky white soup; continue to boil it over medium heat until the crucian carp protein is cooked out. If the crucian carp is not alive, add a teaspoon of white vinegar and cook for 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to put salt first. The crucian carp soup will not be sweet when the salt is put in early.
