　　Steamed Silver Carp with Rice Flour

　　The town of Shiti in Daxian is located by the Ba River, which abounds in silver carp. Locals typically cut the fish into strips, mix them with rice flour seasoned with chili powder, Sichuan peppercorn powder, minced ginger, and other spices, then steam the mixture. Before serving, they drizzle sesame oil on top and sprinkle with chopped scallions. The steamed silver carp with rice flour is tender, rich, boneless, uniquely flavorful, and has an excellent texture. Currently, restaurants across the urban area attract customers with this dish, but compared to the wild silver carp from the Ba River, they still seem slightly inferior.
