Instructions
Step (1)
Cut the shiitake mushrooms and red root into small dice, briefly blanch them in boiling water in a wok to remove moisture, place them together with the peas, pour in chicken broth and simmer thoroughly, then remove and drain off the soup.
Step (2)
Slaughter and bleed the live grass carp, scrape off the scales, and remove the gills and innards. Wash and place on a fish plate, add salt, cooking wine, smashed ginger chunks, and scallion segments. Steam over a pot for 20 minutes, remove and drain off the soup. Separately place soy sauce, MSG, and pepper powder into a bowl and steam alongside the fish.
Step (3)
Pour the steamed soy sauce over the fish, sprinkle with peas, shiitake dice, and red root dice, then sprinkle with douban scallion and minced ginger.
Step (4)
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok until boiling, then pour it over the fish, sprinkle with cilantro segments, and it is ready to serve.
