Main ingredient:Crucian carp

Side ingredients: Garlic,Ginger, Scallions,DoubanjiangSoy sauceOyster sauce

Method

1 Clean the abdominal cavity of the fish thoroughly; water bodies are often contaminated these days.

2 Make a cross-shaped cut on both sides of the fish — this helps with flavor penetration!Since the fish is small, no need for a cross-cut; just make three slanted cuts.

3 Season both sides of the fish evenly with salt, even inside its abdominal cavity to enhance initial flavor absorption!I don't like dusting the fish in flour,flouras it ruins the texture of the skin.4 Place the seasoned fish on a plate and add ginger slices, flattened garlic cloves, dried chili strips, and some additional scallions for color contrast!The combination looks great!

5 Heat oil in a pan until it starts to smoke; fry the ingredients to release their fragrance.Don't use high heat as we are just extracting aromas here.6 Once the garlic and ginger turn golden, remove them for later use. Be careful not to overcook the chili strips!7 Use the remaining oil to fry the fish.

Fry until both sides are slightly golden; you can cook it a bit longer if desired.

Be gentle when turning the fish; breaking it could be disastrous!

8 Add some water in a small bowl (household stock not needed) and start simmering — in restaurants, they use high heat and lots of oil, but at home, our method works just fine!Once the water boils, add cooking wine and soy sauce for flavor and color.!9 Add back all the previously used ingredients. Season with a bit of salt; consider this when adding as the soy sauce is already salty.

Continuously pour the sauce over the fish to ensure even heat distribution!10 Add a spoonful of doubanjiang and stir it in. This is my favorite part!11 After a short while, the fish should be done; too long will ruin its appearance.12 Remove the fish and garnish with scallions — but wait! There's still some sauce left in the pot!

13 It's the essence of this dish!Add a little sugar, vinegar, monosodium glutamate, mix well with water and starch to form a slurry. Pour into the pan, bring to a boil quickly.

Once it thickens slightly, remove from heat.

14 Finish by pouring the sauce over the fish; adjust the amount as needed — too little is dry; too much loses flavor!Done!
