No matter how the yellow eel is done, it is most taboo to go directly into the pot, without these 2 steps, no wonder it is not tender enough and very fishy
It's dog days, I recommend everyone to eat more yellow eel, because yellow eel is really a good thing with high protein, low fat, and high calcium, and the nourishing effect of eating more in summer is very good. However, I didn't buy it for several days in our market, so I had to buy it online, and it was quite fresh when I shipped it.
This noon stewed a pot of yellow eel, the family of three are fragrant confused, my child is a little funny, when I bought it, I saw it, said it was particularly scary, I had to hide in the house to deal with him on the side and didn't dare to look, when I ate it, it was really fragrant, one bite after another, and I feasted.
But to be honest, yellow eel is really not easy to handle, and if you don't master the skills well, the stew won't taste good enough, and it's very fishy. No matter what the yellow eel does, it can't be directly put into the pot, and the key 2 steps are missing, no wonder it is not fragrant and tender enough, and there is a strong fishy smell.
【Stewed yellow eel】
Used: yellow eel, flour, green onion, ginger and garlic, millet pepper, green chili, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, salt, white pepper, sugar, chicken essence, edible oil
1. Because I bought it from the Internet, I can only deal with it myself, which is still very troublesome, so if you have the conditions, you can directly let the boss deal with it for you when you buy it, which is more worry-free.
2. After it is done, cut the yellow eel into one by one, and then process it one by one, pour an appropriate amount of flour into the yellow eel, start to scrub, scrub the mucus on each one, rinse it with water twice, and then control the moisture. Washing the eel with flour to wash off the mucus can become more refreshing, more fragrant, and less earthy, which is the key step 1.
3. Next, we also need to pour an appropriate amount of cooking wine, salt, and white pepper into the washed yellow eel, grab and mix, and marinate for 15 minutes after grabbing and mixing evenly. Marinating with spices can also reduce the earthy smell and become more flavorful, which is the key step 2.
4. Then cut all the green onions, ginger, garlic, millet peppers, and green peppers, and wait for the yellow eel to be marinated, and then you can cook. Pour oil into the pot, fry the shallots, ginger and garlic directly, and then put in the yellow eel for stir-frying, keep stir-frying for a while, and the yellow eel will be broken.
5. Then come to the seasoning, add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, sugar to taste, stir-fry evenly, we add water to the pot, the amount of water is flush with the yellow eel, then cover the lid, first boil over high heat, and then simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. After the time, lift the lid and pour the millet pepper and green pepper into it, by the way, add an appropriate amount of salt and chicken essence, after the juice is collected over high heat, turn off the fire and put it out to eat, the fresh fragrance is delicious, and there is no earthy smell at all.
