Chapter 87 - 85: Braised Crucian Carp
The Flat Pot could only be operated by Su Mo, and after Su Niang had helped her kill the fish, slice the meat, and prepare the condiments, she just stood by and watched.
First, Su Mo marinated the fish in a dish with some cooking wine and salt for a while; then she put the sliced meat into the hot pan to fry.
The enticing aroma instantly filled the air. Fried Pork had become one of her signature dishes, and the people around couldn’t help but swallow their saliva, eyes glued to the meat in the pan.
Two large plates of meat later, upon receiving the notice, Su Mo took them out of the pan. The fish had marinated long enough, so she quickly washed the pan, reheated it, poured in oil, and started frying the well-marinated fish, flipping it evenly. Su Niang occasionally offered a reminder from the side.
The increasingly rich aroma in the air made several people’s stomachs growl one after another.
"Momo, I’m hungry," Zhao Changsheng said pitifully, reaching for the cooked meat only to be smacked away by a chopstick from Su Mo.
"Hold on."
Without even lifting her head, Su Mo responded, and once the fish was fried to a golden brown on both sides, she quickly turned off the fire and poured it out of the pan. Without fresh ginger slices and garlic, she could only take out packets of dried chilies and star anise from the seasoning rack to fry until fragrant. She then poured in the right amount of water and added a spoonful of dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, and vinegar, stirring evenly before putting the fish back into the pan.
The air was filled with the aroma of fish and pork, and after cooking for the right amount of time, she thickened the sauce with some starch before finally turning off the heat.
