My family likes eating fish very much. First of all, the fish is really fresh and protein is rich. Eating more fish won't make you fat, especially during weight loss. Eating more fish can not only supplement protein, but also help to lose weight. My family and I like to eat fish, whether it is boiled, steamed or stewed.
Speaking of the easiest way to cook fish, I like steamed fish best, especially steamed bass. You must order this dish every time you go to a restaurant for dinner. Steamed perch retains the original flavor and delicacy of the fish, and is also very tender. A few years ago, every time I bought the ingredients and went back to cook them, I found that they were completely different from those in the restaurant. The taste is bad, the fish is fishy and old, and the umami is gone. It's really chewing wax I did it many times without success, so I dared not do it.
Later, I met my friend's husband, who is a chef in a five-star hotel. Later, I learned some tricks from him, and the taste was exactly the same as that of the hotel. It's delicious. Since then, when I want to eat fish, I always cook it at home. I don't order steamed bass in restaurants anymore. Today, I will share this trick with you, and my favorite friends will take a look!
I believe many people like to use cooking wine to remove fishy smell when steaming fish, and then marinate the fish with salt. In fact, the most taboo of steaming bass is to put salt and cooking wine to make it more tasty. I did the same thing before, but in fact, it was wrong. Putting salt in advance will only make the taste of fish worse, and the role of salt will also make the water in the fish lose and lock the umami taste in it. Therefore, the two most taboo things when steaming fish are salt and cooking wine.
Steamed bass is also very important in fish selection. First, prepare about 8 ounces of bass, and the maximum steamed bass should not exceed 1 kg 1 ounce. You should pay attention to fish when you kill it. It is best to bleed first, so that the fish will be fresh and have no bloody smell. The fish that falls to death or hits its head tastes completely different from the bleeding fish.
As a side dish, you only need to prepare shredded onion, shredded ginger and shredded red pepper. Shredded red pepper is mainly good-looking, and it can be left on. Shredded onion and shredded ginger are soaked in cold water in advance. The ingredients only need steamed fish and soy sauce, not salt and cooking wine. First of all, put a flower knife on the fish, and both knives will do. Set the fish with chopsticks, make the bottom with shredded onion and ginger, and put chopped green onion on the fish. Let me tell you a little secret. Don't marinate the fish with anything, because the taste of the fish is not slippery at all.
The most important step in steaming fish is the time for steaming fish. Steamed fish is not cooked in cold water, but put the fish in when the water boils. After the water is boiled, steam the fish in a steamer for 8 minutes. If the steaming time is short, the fish next to the thorn will not cook well. After steaming for a long time, the fish will get old and the taste is not tender at all.
After the fish is steamed, pour out the water at the bottom of the plate, take out the shredded onion and ginger, because the steamed fish water will smell fishy, and finally take out the chopsticks. The next step is to pour the steamed fish with soy sauce, not fish, but the edge of the plate. Add the remaining shredded shallot and shredded red pepper, then heat the oil in the pot, and pour it into the fish when the oil temperature rises. A nutritious and delicious steamed bass is ready. You don't need to cook wine or salt. Very tender and delicious. It tastes tender and smooth, not fishy at all. It is really delicious. So when we steam fish in the future, we only need to prepare shredded ginger, shredded onion and steamed fish with soy sauce, and finally pour hot oil on it. Remember to add these four samples to ensure that steamed bass tastes smooth and delicious.
