Dry-Braised Bronze Fish

Dry-Braised Bronze Fish

　　The bronze fish, abundant in the main and tributary streams of the Yangtze River above Yichang, is as renowned as the bream. With its ancient bronze-colored body, round shape, small head, and thick, tender meat, it boasts an exceptionally delicious flavor. Dry-braised bronze fish is made with a bronze fish weighing over one jin (approximately 500g), along with diced meat, chili peppers, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, broth, sugar, and other seasonings. The dish has a bright red color, with glossy oil encapsulating the juices, and offers a fragrant, tender taste.
