Cooking StepsHow to cook Steamed Fish Head with Chopped Chili and Yellow Pickled Chili step by step
-
Step 1 Detail
Halve the fish head. Remove the gills and any black membrane. Wash clean and pat dry thoroughly.
-
Step 2 Detail
Make a few diagonal cuts into the thickest parts of the flesh, being careful not to cut all the way through. Score the bone area twice to help flavors penetrate. Sprinkle with a little salt and rub evenly to season and reduce fishiness.
-
Step 3 Detail
Heat oil in a wok, add minced garlic, chopped chili, yellow pickled chili, and bird’s eye chili. Stir in chicken bouillon and stir-fry until fragrant. Remove from heat.
-
Step 4 Detail
Line the steaming plate with ginger slices and place the fish head on top. Spread the chili mixture evenly over the fish head. Steam over vigorously boiling water for 8–10 minutes, adjusting time based on the size of the fish head.
-
Step 5 Detail
Remove from steamer, drizzle with a little soy sauce, scatter scallions on top, and pour smoking-hot oil over the scallions to sizzle.
