  • Shui Zhu Yu (水煮鱼) is one of our favourite Sichuan food. It is spicy, numbing, and savoury, a perfect dish for rainy days. Here's our recipe for how to make Shui Zhu Yu at home.
    "Shui Zhu" literally translates to water boiling, which comes from the fact that the dish is finished by pouring boiling hot oil over a pile of garlic, chilies, and spices. Shui Zhu actually refers to a family of dishes that share the characteristics of numbing, spicy, umami, and served piping hot. These dishes are a perfect match with bowls of steamed rice.

    so delicious! I had a similar dish with beef. The broth was so delicious! But also so oily, part of me wanted to eat it like a soup, but another one said it would have been unwise haha. Is the oil only to finish up the spices? Or maybe the point is to make the broth reusable in the ways you mentioned in the end? BTW what a sexy voice

      In future videos, I'll try to give approximations for reference, but taste as you go! My Kung Pao Chicken video has measurements, but I never measure when I cook. Vinegars as they evaporate becomes less sour. Salts will change in weight due to humidity. I always get poor results when I measure, so make sure you taste as you go!
