West Lake vinegar fish?

Upon hearing this name, all the guests' eyes lit up.

Because they all know this dish.

You may not know much about the details, but you definitely know this dish.

The reason is naturally because of the famous West Lake.

West Lake can be said to be the most famous lake in the country. Although some people complain that West Lake may not be as good as imagined.

But I have to admit that its reputation is quite big.

Anyone who knows West Lake basically knows that there is a famous dish in West Lake called West Lake Vinegar Fish.

A dish that you know will undoubtedly make the guests more interested.

"I know about West Lake Vinegar Fish, but I don't know much about the details. Is the fish used in it such a big grass carp?"

"This dish is very famous, but maybe I can't eat it. Because I heard that this dish tastes sour and sweet, and I can't eat this texture."

"West Lake vinegar fish, since there is a word 'vinegar' in it, it must taste sweet and sour. You don't need to hear about this. However, sweet and sour does not mean that we can't eat it. The fish-flavored eggplant in our Sichuan cuisine is also sour.

Don’t everyone also like to eat sweetness?”

"Fish-flavored eggplant? Yes, fish-flavored eggplant is also sour and sweet. I really like eating fish-flavored eggplant. In that case, I should also like to eat West Lake vinegar fish."

“I don’t know if I will like the West Lake Fish in Vinegar made by others, but I definitely like the West Lake Fish in Vinegar made by the boss.”

"Haha! That's right. I definitely like the West Lake vinegar fish made by the boss."

"..."

When Wang Ye and the other three heard what the other guests said, they couldn't help but secretly be stunned. These people are quite confident in the boss's cooking skills!

However, this is normal.

It was their first time here today and they had just had one meal here, and they were already quite confident in Li You's cooking skills.

However, Li You himself said: "You can't say that. Some people will not be able to eat West Lake vinegar fish, even if I make it. There is still a difference between it and fish-flavored eggplant."

"That being said, boss, I think most people can eat the West Lake vinegar fish you made. There may only be a small number of people who can't eat it."

"Boss, are you planning to launch West Lake Vinegar Fish?"

Li You nodded, "I have this idea. What do you think?"

"That's definitely quite good! Apart from Hangzhou, are there very few places with West Lake vinegar fish? Or even none? There are no other places, but we have it here. How great is it?"

"Boss, this is absolutely possible. This way, those of us who have never been to the West Lake and it will not be easy to go to the West Lake in the future can also eat the famous dish of West Lake Vinegar Fish."

"In the future, when someone on the Internet asks which store in Hangzhou has the best West Lake vinegar fish, I will tell him that the best West Lake vinegar fish is not in Hangzhou, but in Dajiulong Gorge. It's very interesting to think about it.

."

"Boss, we all support your launch."

"..."

The guests were all very enthusiastic and said that Li You must launch it.

Seeing the guests like this, Li You laughed and was very happy and said: "Since everyone hopes to launch it, I will launch it. Then everyone will have more choices."

"Hahaha! Okay!" The guests were all very happy, "Then when does the boss plan to launch it?"

Li You said: "I will cook these two grass carps today to try them out. If there are no problems, they will be released in the next two days."

The guests were all overjoyed and expressed that they were looking forward to it!

"Of course, normally, grass carp needs to be starved for three days before cooking. In this way, grass carp can excrete all debris in the body and remove the muddy smell. However, in order to try it today, I will not starve it this time.

It’s been three days." Li You said again.

It is still necessary to explain this to the guests.

The guests all nodded and said that it doesn’t matter if you feed a purely wild grass carp like this one if you don’t starve it.

Li You nodded, and then thought in his mind, one of the two grass carp, himself, Ye Shengge, and Ling Xiaoru should be enough for the three of them. It would be better to invite the guests to try the remaining one to see what everyone thinks.

So, Li You said that there were two grass carps here. After making the West Lake vinegar fish, they would eat one themselves, and then take one out for everyone to try. Then they would comment and see how it tasted?

I wonder if anyone is interested?

The guests were all extremely surprised after hearing this. Do you need to ask them if they are interested in such a good thing?

This is a huge surprise, okay? Of course they are very interested.

As a result, the guests all expressed that it was their honor and they were very happy.

Li You was very happy to see the guests like this. He laughed and said that if this was the case, he would make one immediately and treat everyone to eat.

The guests said hello repeatedly and said they were looking forward to it.

Li You carried the fish into the kitchen.

As for Ye Shengge, she went upstairs.

The guests also walked into the store one after another. Everyone was very happy and looking forward to it.

Among them, Wang Ye, Yuan Wenxu, and Lai Xiaofei are the most excited.

What Li You said was to invite everyone to try the food, so naturally they also participated. It was the first time I came here to eat, and the boss unexpectedly asked the guests to try new dishes.

Isn’t this great luck?

West Lake Vinegar Fish, of course they know this dish. But they have never tasted it.

I originally thought that only when I had the opportunity to go to Hangzhou would I have the opportunity to taste the famous West Lake vinegar fish.

I didn’t expect to be able to taste it here today.

Moreover, it is most likely the best West Lake vinegar fish in the world.

Other guests all thought so, and they also felt it was very possible.

This is really exciting and exciting!

……

In the kitchen.

Li You took out a grass carp and gave it to Dabai, asking Dabai to kill the fish.

The remaining grass carp and all the crucian carp were put into the space fish pond.

Soon, Dabai killed the fish and handed it to Li You.

Li You started to cook the West Lake Vinegar Fish dish for the first time.

In addition to the main ingredient grass carp, this dish also requires seasonings such as ginger, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, cooking wine, starch, and salt.

Of course, there is no need to prepare these specially.

Get started.

Clean the killed fish. Then take a kitchen knife and insert it from the tail of the fish. Use a flat knife along the spine of the fish to the gills, and finally cut the head open.

The fish is divided into left and right halves.

Then chop off the fish’s teeth.

Because the fish teeth have a strong fishy smell, they need to be removed.

Next, score the fish body.

Make five diagonal cuts on each side.

Next, boil a pot of water and proceed to the very important second step.

Boil the fish body.

Boiling water is a commonly used method of cooking food. It means putting the food in boiling water and boiling it.

Cooked to half-cooked or fully cooked.

There are two ways to boil water: boiling water in a pot and boiling water in a cold water pot.

Boiling water in a pot means to boil the water in the pot before adding the ingredients.

The cold water pot boiling water means that the ingredients and cold water are put into the pot together.

Most vegetables and meat ingredients with a fishy smell can be boiled during cooking.

Boiling vegetable water can make the color of vegetables more vivid, the texture more crisp and tender, and the astringency, bitterness, spiciness, etc. can be reduced.

Draining meat with a fishy smell into water can remove blood stains, fishy smell and other odors.

To brine grass carp for West Lake Vinegar Fish, you need to brine it in a boiling water pot.

Therefore, Li You first let the water in the pot boil.
