Process key

1. Only fresh grass carp can be used for soup dishes, or you can cook the whole fish, remove gills and viscera, remove nails and wash them, cut knives on both sides, cut them diagonally into two parts, and align them when entering the soup bowl.

Don't fry the whole fish too hard, just oil it to remove the fishy smell. Only by cooking fish with strong fire can you make white milk soup. After kimchi is cooked for a long time, the soup will be dark and the taste of the soup will be poor.
