Source: InKunming | 2022-12-06 | Editor:Rachel
Harvest season is truly a wonderful time of year to satisfy your taste buds. Preserved fish is a Jinning specialty that is usually made of grass carp or carp, added with chilli, Baijiu (Chinese liquor) , Chinese prickly ash, anise, sesame oil and other ingredients. The process is generally made by more than a dozen manual processes, such as scraping scales, cutting, washing, drying, and so on.
After the fresh fish is killed and scalized, cut it into pieces, put it in a ventilated place to dry, and then wrap the meat pieces with sesame oil and prepared spices. Put the salted fish pieces into an earthen jar, soak them in vegetable oil, seal them with waterproof paper, and store them in a cool place. Generally, they can be taken out for cooking after 2-3 days.
The preserved fish out of the jar is bright red in color, rich in nutrition, and tastes good and tender. It is an excellent cuisine for family and friends.
Hungry yet? Well, let's see how it is made.
