Secret Recipe: How to Make Delicious and Fragrant Braised Snakehead Fish

Ingredients

- 300g snakehead fish

- Seasonings: scallions, chili, pepper, broth mix, sugar, soy sauce, cooking oil

How to Prepare

Step 1: Prepare the Snakehead Fish

When you purchase snakehead fish, clean it thoroughly, remove all fins, gut it, scale it, and rinse it with cold water. Cut it into round pieces just enough for braising. Particularly, to reduce the fishy taste of the braised snakehead fish, you should soak the fish in a little diluted salt water for about 10 minutes before cooking.

Step 2: Marinate the Fish

After finishing the fish preparation, cut it into chunks and marinate it with onions and garlic for about 15 minutes to evenly absorb the spices. Then, caramelize sugar until it turns slightly golden, then add a little water to create a brownish-yellow syrup. After caramelizing the sugar, pour it over the marinated fish, season with fish sauce and salt.

Step 3: Braise the Fish

After marinating, place the pot on the stove, braise the fish over low heat so that the spices penetrate evenly into the fish meat. Braise until the fish sauce thickens, then season with more pepper and chili to taste, and the delicious braised snakehead fish dish is ready.
