After a Mid-Autumn Festival, I feel that I have eaten more big fish and meat, so I want to eat some whole grains. Although the whole grains are usually eaten in different ways, such as multi-grain buns, multi-grain noodles, and multi-grain porridge, they only serve as supporting roles. What is delicious to eat?

This potsticker pancake stewed fish that my mother taught is really authentic! The fish bones can be chewed and eaten without leaving a drop of soup! "
