Fish Flavored Shredded Pork
Long
time ago, there was a business family in Sichuan, their family members liked to
eat fish and cared about the flavor very much. When they cooked the fish, they
usually add some ginger, garlic, cooking wine, vinegar and soy sauce to remove the
fishlike smell.One
night, the hostess was cooking another dish, in order not to waste the seasonings.
She added the seasonings which were left from the previous cooking for the fish
to stir fry with this dish. At first, she thought
that the dish might not be good. She was worried about it that her husband came
back.
The
special fragrance made her husband couldn’t wait to have a taste before the
dinner. It was so delicious that her husband wondered how she cooked this dish.
Then she told him the secret.
So
actually there is no fish or fish fragrance in the Fish Flavored Shredded
Pork, it is only using a combination of seasonings to cook the vegetable
and pork instead of fish. After many years, the Sichuan people made continuous
improvements of this dish. The particular taste of this dish was soon popular
all over the country.
