Sweet and sour
fish is one of the most popular traditional Chinese dish, normally cooked with
carp. The method to cook an authentic Chinese sweet and sour fish (Tang
Tsu Yu) is to use what we call 'Liu', meaning 'quick-fry'. The fish should
be tender inside and crispy outside. Its original flavour gets reserved
while the unpleasant raw fish smell would be completely removed. Many Chinese
families cook this dish on a regular basis. It is considered an universal dish
that has been enjoyed by people from everywhere in China for many
years.
