Tips:
1. If the small yellow croaker finds it troublesome to cut the fish at home, ask someone to cut it in the market;
2. When frying the fish, use a low heat throughout the whole process. If you want to know if the fish is suitable for turning, you can use the pot to gently push the body of the fish. If the fish can move, you can turn it over;
3. In the prepared sauce, fish sauce is indispensable. Although some people don't like it, the taste of fish sauce cannot be tasted when matched with those kinds of sauces;
4. Shredded green pepper is the last thing I want to add, because it can add a hint of spiciness to make it more palatable, or it can be replaced with shredded red pepper.
