Sweet and sour sea bass preparation

The sweet and sour sea bass is not difficult to make, but if you want to make it delicious, you need to master two details, one is that the fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the other is the proportion of sweet and sour sauce and just the right consistency, so that the sweet and sour sea bass can be soft and fragrant, sweet and sour.

Step 2: Wash the water on the fish with kitchen paper, and then use a knife to cut the flower knife, pay attention to the flower knife must be cut deeper, to cut the fish meat thoroughly, it is best to cut directly to the fish bone.

Step 3: Evenly coat the fish with dry starch, especially the fish meat in the gap of the flower knife, be sure to be covered with dry starch, so that the flower knife can bloom when frying the fish, and the fish meat in the gap of the flower knife will not stick together.

Step 4: Pour more oil into the pan and heat it, take the fish head and fish tail and put it in the oil pan, fry it over medium and high heat until it is set, don't be in a hurry to turn over the fish when you fry the fish, and when you smell the fragrance, gently lift the fish body with a spatula to look at the bottom surface, fry until the color is golden, and fry the other side on the opposite side.

Step 5: Put 4 tablespoons of tomato paste, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of vinegar in a bowl and stir well.

【Tips】

1. When cutting the fish with a flower knife, you must try to cut it as deep as possible, so that when you fry the fish, it is easier to bloom.

2. When dipping the starch, the fish should not be too wet, and ensure that the gaps between the fish are all covered with dry starch, so that the fried fish will not stick together.

3. Put more oil when frying the fish, and the oil temperature must be higher when the fish is put in the pot, so that the fish can be quickly set.

4. The sweet and sour sauce must be boiled thick, so as to ensure that it will not flow down quickly when poured on the fish, so that the fish can fully absorb the flavor of the soup.
