When the fish had finished marinating, Sister Sheng Xia took the fillets out and patted them dry. She heated oil in an iron wok and began to fry the fish until they turned golden brown, then lifted them out.
She placed the fried fish into the prepared sauce, allowing the fillets to soak up the flavors. The braised fish was now ready.
While the fish was soaking, Sister Sheng Xia steamed two large pots of rice and whipped up a few simple cold side dishes. Only then did she have Baicai go call everyone in to eat.
