大家好我是王刚
本期视频我和大家分享一道家常菜
松鼠鱼
首先我们准备鲜活的草鱼一条（约1000克）
把草鱼拍晕
刮掉鱼鳞去除内脏清洗干净备用
这一步可以交给摊主来处理
同学们也可以选择鲤鱼或者鲈鱼制作
下一步我们开始改刀
首先我们将鱼头从鱼鳍下方切下

English: 
Hello everyone, this is Wang Gang
In this video, I will share a you a authentic Chinese dish
Squirrel fish
First, let's prepare a fresh grass carp (about 1 kg)
Striking the fish on the top of the head
Remove scales and guts. Rinse thoroughly and set aside.
You can also ask your fishmonger to do this for you.
Asian carp or bass will also work well for this dish
Next, let's cut the fish
Remove the fish head along with the pelvic fins

English: 
Take out the jaw from the head
Then pull out the teeth (Still need the head for final presentation)
The teeth must be removed as it contains fishy odour
Run your knife along the backbone
repeat the process on the other side, and cut the backbone to remove it
Don't cut through the tail (otherwise it will not form the shape)
And then slice off the belly
be really careful if you are new to this
Next step, let's apply flower cutting to the fish

Chinese: 
然后将鱼头的下颚取下
Take out the jaw from the head
再把鱼嘴里面的牙齿取出
草鱼牙齿的腥味很重所以必须去除
然后用平切刀法将草鱼中间的脊骨取下
只需要切到鱼尾处再把脊骨剁下来即可
同学们这一步切勿将鱼尾切断
然后再把鱼肚切下来
新手同学必须慢慢来要注意安全
下一步我们开始改花刀

Chinese: 
首先用刀竖着在鱼肉上往下切至鱼皮处
但是同学们要注意不能把鱼皮切破
否则整道菜很容易报废
然后再横着刀斜45度角同样切至鱼皮处
这一步同样不能切破鱼皮否则很容易断裂
下一步准备腌制上粉

English: 
First, make deep cuts into the filet but right before reach the skin
Make sure not to cut through the skin
Otherwise the dish will be destroyed
Then turn knife 45 degree, and cut the filet again, also stop right before the skin
The fish may break apart if the skin get damaged
Next step, let's season and flour the fish

Chinese: 
将切好的鱼肉放入盆中加入清水清洗干净
鱼肉清洗干净之后捞出挤干水份备用
盆中准备鸡蛋黄1个
再加入一点点食用盐
然后将鱼肉放进去搅拌均匀
下一步开始上粉
首先我们在托盘中加入干淀粉500克

English: 
Rinse and wash the fish again
Squeeze out the excess water and set aside
Add an egg yolk in the bowl
and a pinch of salt
mix well with the fish
Let's flour the fish
Add 500g of corn starch in the tray

Chinese: 
然后加入腌制好的鱼肉均匀的拍上干淀粉备用
在鱼肉的缝隙里面也要均匀的上粉
最后将上好粉的鱼肉稍微抖动几下去除多余的淀粉
下一步我们开始准备料汁
碗中加入番茄酱80克
加入白糖40克

English: 
then coat the fish evenly with the corn starch
Make sure to flour in between the slits as well
Shake off any excess starch
Next step, let's prepare the sauce
Add 80g of ketchup
40g of sugar

Chinese: 
加入白醋30克
加入一点点食用盐（约0.3克）
最后搅拌均匀备用
下一步开始准备制作
首先我们把锅烧热
锅烧热之后加入宽油

English: 
Add 30g of vinegar to the sugar
A touch of salt (about 0.3 g)
mix well the sweet and sour sauce
Next, let's cook the fish
Heat up the wok,
and add sufficient amount of oil (a lot of oil)

Chinese: 
然后开大火将油温烧至6成热
油温6成热之后转小火准备下鱼
首先将鱼肉翻过来把鱼尾夹着
然后在鱼皮的两侧蘸一点水捏拢
这一步的目的是防止鱼肉下锅散开

English: 
Turn on high heat wait until the oil temperature is 60% (180°C)
Turn down the heat to medium low and get ready for frying
Turn the fillets over and make sure clamping by the fillets
Then glue the fillets together with a little bit of water
This step is preventing the fish from breaking apart in the oil

English: 
Lift each end of the fish after sticking the fillet together
Hold each end of the fish and fry the middle part for 50 seconds
This step is letting the fish filet expands into floral shape and set the shape
Hold the tail, let the other side go and continue frying
So, the fish can be cooked evenly
You can switch hands if it gets too hot
Turn the fish over when the bottom is cooked thoroughly
When the tail and filets are crispy, fry the fish head

Chinese: 
鱼皮捏拢之后再提这前后下锅炸
下锅之后先用手提着鱼肉炸50秒
这一步的目的是先让鱼肉开花定型
中途先放下一边继续炸制
这一步的目的是使其均匀受热
如果中途感受到手烫可以交替换手操作
底部定型之后再提着尾巴翻过来
将鱼尾炸至定型之后再将鱼头下锅

English: 
Fry everything for 2 minutes using medium heat, until the fish cooked thoroughly.
For home stove, it may take about 3 minutes
After 2 or 3 minutes, take out the fish and drain it
Golden and crispy outside, but still fresh inside is the key for this dish
Empty the hot oil from the wok and start making the sauce
Add little bit of oil to the wok
And then add the ketchup
Saute the ketchup on low heat for 15 seconds

Chinese: 
然后开中火炸2分钟把鱼头炸熟
家庭小灶需要3分钟左右
2分钟之后将炸好的鱼肉捞出控油摆盘
此菜必须将鱼肉炸至金黄外酥里嫩
然后我们将热油倒出之后准备下一步炒汁
锅中加入少许的热油
将准备好的番茄汁下锅
转小火把番茄汁炒熟

English: 
in order to cook the ketchup
And then add in the mixed sweet and sour sauce
Add little bit water
Thicken the sauce on medium low heat
This step will take around 90 seconds (about 150s for home stove)
Finally drizzle some hot oil into the sauce
Pour the sauce over the fish when small bubbles appear (or use as dip sauce)
A delicious sweet and sour Squirrel fish is completed

Chinese: 
这一步大概需要15秒钟左右
番茄酱炒熟之后加入调好的糖醋汁
再加入少许的清水
开中小火将糖醋汁收至粘稠
这一步骤需要90秒左右（家庭小灶需要150秒左右）
最后再加入少许热油
烧至糖醋汁起泡后均匀的淋在鱼身上面即可
一道酸甜可口的松鼠鱼就制作完成
