Cooking Steps

1. 

   Step1:After the hairtail is cleaned, cut into sections, and put them into a container and add some salt to marinate for 20 minutes. (don't salt too much. Don't marinate too long. Low salt.)

2. 

   Step2:Prepare the scallion, ginger, garlic and star anise.

3. 

   Step3:Start the oil pot. Add the star anise and stir up the fragrance. Then add the onion, ginger and garlic to stir up the fragrance. Spread the onion, ginger and garlic evenly on the bottom of the pot.

4. 

   Step4:Put the pickled hairtail on the onion, ginger and garlic piece by piece. (try not to let the fish touch the bottom of the pot directly. The fish will be loose when it is hot.)

5. 

   Step5:Add some cooking wine, soy sauce, old soy sauce, raw soy sauce and sugar.

6. 

   Step6:Use chopsticks to hold the fish on one side and turn it over.

7. 

   Step7:When the fish are all covered with sauce, add some boiling water. The water volume is no more than the fish. This dish doesn't need to be salted twice

8. 

   Step8:Cover the pot and simmer for 10 minutes. Turn the lid on again and collect the juice. Pour in a little sesame oil before leaving the pot.
