Step 1
Wash the fish clean, cut off the head and tail, slice the fish into thin pieces about 3-4 mm thick. Wash the fish pieces and head again, drain the water, and marinate them in cooking wine. After absorption, add salt, chicken essence, and egg white, and stir until fully absorbed. Add starch and stir evenly.

Prepare the soup. Heat oil in a pot, add ginger threads, Sichuan peppercorns, chili segments, garlic slices, and scallion segments, and stir-fry until fragrant. Add half a packet of Mapo tofu seasoning, hot pot seasoning, or spicy fish seasoning, and stir-fry. Add an appropriate amount of water, about half the amount of the ingredients in the pot, and adjust to taste. Add salt, pepper, fish head, and bones, and bring to a boil.
