Ingredient preparation
Slice the sole fillets one by one into 2 pieces; cut the fried dough sticks into small diagonal pieces.
Frying the dough sticks
Heat lard in a wok over medium heat, add the fried dough sticks and fry until crispy, then remove and arrange them on a plate as the base.
Stir-frying the sole
Add the sole slices to a wok of hot lard over high heat to sear, drain off the oil, then immediately pour in the wine and gently press the moisture out of the sole with a spoon. Add the scallions and briefly stir-fry, then add a small amount of chicken broth, salt, and wine. Thicken with water chestnut starch to make a thin sauce, remove from the wok, and pour over the fried dough sticks. Serve immediately.
