Pig intestine fish

Pig intestine fish

　　Pig intestine fish is a famous dish from Zizhong County.

Main ingredients: one box of pig intestines (from the supermarket, a small box), one live carp (grass carp...)

Seasoning ingredients: cooking wine, Sichuan peppercorns, dried red chili peppers, chili sauce, scallions, ginger, garlic, salad oil

First, add scallions, ginger, garlic, red chili peppers, chili sauce, and Sichuan peppercorns in sequence to a hot wok and stir-fry briefly—you’ll soon smell a very rich and aromatic fragrance. Then add the cut-up pig intestines (since they weren’t turned inside out while washing, I just tore them into pieces) along with cooking wine, stir-fry for a bit, then add water and simmer for a while. When the pig intestines are almost done, add more water, place the sliced fish fillets directly on top of the intestines, cover, and continue to simmer. The fish cooks very quickly—just a short simmer is enough.
