How to choose fresh and delicious carp

  • Fresh and delicious carp are best when still alive, so if possible, choose fish in this condition.
  • Choose fish that do not have scales peeling off, are fresh, with firm flesh that is not mushy, and the eyes are clear and bulging.
  • When selecting fish, check the gills; if they are still red, the fish is fresh, but if they are pale or dark, the fish has gone bad.

How to prepare Braised Carp with Galangal

  • Prepare and marinate the fish

    To clean and eliminate the fishy smell, remove the fins, head, scrape off the scales, and take away any blood vessels attached to the fish’s spine. Then rinse thoroughly with water several times.

    Place the fish in a bowl, marinate with 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, and use chopsticks to mix well so that the fish absorbs the flavor, marinating for about 15 minutes.

    Effective ways to eliminate fishy smell

    • Using salt: Add a little salt to diluted water, soak the fish for about 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water.
    • Using rice water: Soaking fish in rice water also helps effectively eliminate the fishy smell.
    • Using alcohol: Soak the fish in water containing a little alcohol or lemon juice for about 15 – 20 minutes, then rinse clean.
