Hello, everyone
Hi, everybody
I bought a fish head today
This fish head is a frozen one
I will take care of it
To cook a Fish Head with Pickled Hot Peppers
I'll cook for you, Uncle
There's actually a way to cut the fish head
You only need 9 cuts for the whole fish head
Let's start with the first cut
First cut, let it's top of head towards us
Make it steady
Then use a big chopper
Cut it down this way
This one's called the "slap cut"
This technique
Then break it open
Okay, that's the first cut done
Then trim the organs inside
Throw those away
This fish head seller is very honest
Because generally we buy fish head in the market
They don't sell fish heads like this
Let show you how they do it
This is what they do
Cutting down diagonally like this
Or diagonally down this way
There would still be a triangle fish body here
Just sell more fish body as fish head (fish body is not taste good as head for this kind of fish)
hmm
Is it?
Fish head is expensive, the back of the fish is so cheap
Let me wash it
Wash it clean
After washing it and preparing the other cuts
We were eight cuts short
Which eight cuts?
one
Two
Three
Give it another chop on face
Other side, same
One
Two
Three
Here
Then there is another important step
Give it a wash with salt
Remove the smell
It can remove some of the fishy smell
It also gives it some salty taste in advance
Marinating it as the same time
Wash off the sticky on the surface
Give it a rub
There's a lot to learn about cooking fish
Good, good
Multiple aspects of the whole method
Wash the fish head tow more times
Okay, this fish head is ready to cook
What do you think of this pot, Uncle?
This pot is nice
Not bad
If you don't have a casserole like this, you can use a regular wok
Get a handful of small scallions
Give it a rub
Do you know why rubbing?
The smell will come out
That scent came out as soon as you rub it
Then put the fish head in like this
Just the right size
Yes
Prepare some of the Sichuan pickled vegetables
Good combination for cooking spicy dish
This pickled vegetable is not only for aromatic
It can also reduce the fishy taste of the fish
Give it chopped up
Then prepare some garlic
Prepare a small piece of ginger
Give them a mince
Uncle like it a bit more spicy
Also cut some spicy chillies into it
Drain the pickled chillies out
This is how we will use the pickled chillies
No need to wash it
Because we will use the saltness in it for the fish head
with some ginger, garlic, chillies, pickles
Other than that, there's not much seasoning
Is the lard from last time
Yes
I made it last time
So white
You must put a little more oil for fish
The fish is always more tender when cooked in lard
Ginger, garlic, chillies, pickles, give them a stir fry
Fry the pickled vegetable until bursting
This pickled chillies is not washed
Just put it in directly
Isn't it easy, Uncle?
It's hard to make it even looks easy
Only looks easy
When it's fragrant, it's good
Turn down the heat
Put it aside
Now the casserole up
You're so clever, Uncle
Put the sauce on evenly
I think I used to made this kind of fish head for you
It's been a few years
Put a little more lard in
Why put lard in it?
If the fish head has oil
The pot temperature will be higher
Can make it juicier
Also more fragrant
If we steam fish
For example, steamed sea bass
Steamed other fishes
You also put a bit oil on the fish like this
The results will be much better
more tender
Then sprinkle with a pinch of sugars
A pinch of more white peppercorn powder
Put a little more beer down the side
You see there's not much sauce now
There will be much more sauce when it's cooked
It's not good without that sauce
Good, now cover it up
Turn down the heat
Usually this simmer will take about 15 minutes
Okay, 15 minutes
Open it up and take a look
So nice!
It smells so good
Use chopstick to poke it in gently to test
The fish meat is cooked when you poke it in and it goes through
Ready to serve
Yes
Come on, let's eat
A sprinkle of the fish spice (a kind of Chinese spice)
Eat
I want to eat it so badly
Very delicious
It so nice to eat with a little bit of fish spice
Eat it with the fish spice
I don't bother with that
I want it more, I'm turning it around
There are fish bones, be careful
Oh, you're a good eater, Uncle
Add some more pickled chillies
I still learn to enjoy good food slowly
Even food need to learn to enjoy, not to mention the others
Learn everyday
Auntie, you eat this
This one is nice
The fish head meat is very tender
Very tasty
Uncle, this meat is good
Very tasty
This meat, you See
It's shaking, this piece is on the stomach
It's fat
Good
Many of people say that we are perfect for each other
I eat what ever you cook and I enjoy them so much
How come we're not perfect for each other
We've been blessed in our past lives to be a family in this life
I'm a good eater and I enjoy it
You can do the same thing for bass
The sea bass doesn't have much bones
The fish we had in the restaurant was still good
The bass in the restaurant is not this good
Not as good as this one
Is there any restaurant that you think does a good job?
No, I can't think much
No, not in my mind
Out there
Most of the tastes are not as good as yours
But I still can enjoy them
It's just a matter of cooking skills
I can understand them
There are highs and lows in cookings, aren't there
Every chef has a different approach
Yes
Maybe you just like what I did a bit better
It's not saying that other people's are not good
Hmm
This is so delicious to eat
You eat like a child
I'm in a hurry to eat
I didn't expect you like this dish
This much
Yes
Okay, everyone can learn
And then do it
This is real cooking
It doesn't matter if you don't have casseroles
Use your wok is the same
Slowly simmer it like this and braise it for a while
Simmer
If you don't have a casserole, you can make it in a iron pot
Cast iron
But everyone must pay attention to the pickled chillies
Be sure to taste the saltiness of it
It needs to be a degree saltier than a stir-fry
Then it will be good
Then this fish head need to wash with salt
Rub it a few times and then wash it a few times
Remove the sticky, the blood, the fishy smell
Well, that's it for this video
Bye bye
