Everyone has their own way and secrets when making braised ribfish.I prefer to fry it first, then simmer over low heat, which makes the ribfish taste well-infused with a fried aroma.When it comes to eating fish, I am usually afraid of strange-looking ones unless they are unfamiliar to me.

  Among all the fish I have eaten, my favorite is the ribfish.For washing fish, I really don't know how to do it, so no fish in our home is washed by me.

  The ribfish is mostly prepared by my father; others handle different types of fish.If no one washes the fish, we will not buy any.So there are few recipes about fish in my cookbook.Mainly because I am afraid to kill or clean fish.Braised RibfishRibfish, cornstarch, vegetable oil, salt,
