Cooking StepsHow to cook Zhejiang-Style Home-Braised Mixed Fish step by step
-
Step 1 DetailClean the mixed fish, drain well, and arrange flat on a plate. (Set aside any squid separately for later use.)
-
Step 2 DetailHeat a wok over high heat with oil until it just begins to smoke. Slide all the fish from the plate into the wok at once. After 1–2 minutes, gently shake the wok — if the fish moves freely, it’s ready to flip. (If it sticks, wait a bit longer. Never use a spatula to force it loose; the fish will release naturally once properly seared. Adjust the heat down slightly if it’s too fierce.) Add the squid to the wok along with one spoonful of Puning bean paste (Haitian yellow bean paste works as a substitute), salt, Hua Diao wine, 2 slices of ginger, 1 clove of garlic, 1 scallion stalk (chili is optional), a splash of boiling water, and a pinch of chicken bouillon. Lift the wok and swirl clockwise twice to distribute the seasonings evenly. Cover and braise over medium-low heat for 5 minutes — don’t let the liquid cook off completely. Once the fish is cooked through, serve immediately.
