1 large grass carp (about 500g).
Seasonings:
20g each of coriander, red bell pepper, ginger, and scallion; 10g of Hongqiao Secret Spice Oil; 10g of Hongqiao Secret Spice Oil.
Hongqiao Secret Spice Oil:
15g each of scallion and ginger, 5g of Hongqiao Secret Spice Oil, 45g of dried red bell pepper, simmered in pure water for 1 hour.
Hongqiao Secret Spice Oil:
30g each of cinnamon, star anise, nutmeg, clove, cardamom, and white pepper, simmered in pure water for 1 hour.
Instructions:
Scale and fillet the grass carp, remove internal organs, and wash thoroughly. Cut the cleaned grass carp into large, thin slices. Marinate the slices in Hongqiao Secret Spice Oil for 4 hours.
