A recipe from China: Rice noodles fish

By Spike

In a short period of fewer than two months in Canada, the difference between Canadian food and Chinese food I have found is that Chinese have developed various methods to cook food such as pan-frying, stir-frying, quick-frying, stewing, steaming… while in Canada might be less, like baking and deep-frying. Of course, both of them are delicious.

The recipe I would like to talk about is “Rice noodles fish”, which is a famous dish in my hometown. It was a treat for the first president of China; he praised it as “Four stars watch the moon”. I learned how to make it because my family and my best friend all like it very much.

-A grass carp (500g)

-Rice noodles (400g)
