Regarding his junior apprentice brother's question, Xie Baomin was forthcoming.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhuang Yizhou asked a few questions whose answers were usually hard to find:
"Chef Xie, when soaking the fish head, can a bamboo mesh be placed underneath?"
"You can, but it's not recommended because once the fish head is soaked, it becomes very sticky and very soft; using a bamboo mesh can easily break it."
The soaking time for the fish head is quite long.
Taking advantage of this time, Lin Xu sliced the meat from the body of the catfish, making boiled fish slices, dry-fried fish slices, and sweet and sour fish cubes separately.
As for the fish tail and fish bones, he made radish fish tail soup with them.
Tired of always eating tofu soup, today it's time for a change.
