Today, I will talk to you about the story of the dish "squirrel mandarin fish". Squirrel mandarin fish means "more than every year", the taste is crisp and sour, the outside is crisp and tender, not only children like to eat, even adults are full of praise, but the reason why it is called squirrel mandarin fish is because it looks like a vivid little squirrel, and the second is because when it is poured hot oil, this "squirrel" will make a "squeaky" sound!
Authentic squirrel mandarin fish is now introduced to Nanjing Ma Xiangxing Restaurant, which is recognized by the National Cuisine Association. If this dish is made authentically, it is very challenging to the chef's standard, and the use of a bamboo knife to remove the fish bones without destroying the appearance of the fish is very exquisite. There is a small story to tell you about the origin of this dish.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, King Wu was absurd, and his cousin He Donkey hated King Wu to the bone, and found a killer to get rid of the scourge, King Wu loved to eat fish, and The River Donkey took care of the killer. You go to learn the cooking art of making fish, I want to find a way to let you mix into the palace, specifically for King Wu to make fish, then find an opportunity to start, the killer studied hard, and finally learned to cook, the river donkey saw the fire as soon as it arrived, he brought the killer to the side of the King of Wu, introduced to the king I found a good cook for you, asked him to make fish for you to show my love for you, King Wu happily left the killer.
Next, the killer and the river donkey discussed that King Wu was very wary of the best time, only when it was time for him to eat, I wanted to hide the dagger in the belly of the fish, and then it would be a surprise. The killer hid the dagger in the fisherman's experiment, and found that he could see something strange, and it was difficult to escape the inspection of the guards. He and the river donkey thought about it for half a day, and finally came up with an idea, cutting the flesh of the fish into the pan and frying it, and waiting for the flesh on the fish to bulge, hiding the dagger in the belly of the fish, so that it would not be unusual. Because the fried mandarin fish is shaped like a squirrel, the marinade is poured on the laurel fish, and it will also make a scoffing sound, as if the squirrel is squeaking, they gave this dish a novel name, called squirrel mandarin fish.
This day the river donkey invited Wu Wang to dinner, smiled and said that the cook recently made a new dish, called squirrel mandarin fish, with a peculiar shape, specially let you open your eyes. King Wu promised with a full mouth, I will definitely taste it.
The killer hid the dagger in the belly of the squirrel mandarin fish and indeed escaped the inspection of the guards, and when he walked to king Wu with the dish, saying that it was too late and fast, he suddenly drew the dagger from the belly of the fish and stabbed king Wu in the chest, and the stab succeeded in stabbing the river donkey as the new monarch, and this dish also passed down with the story.
