用料

做法

  1. 鱼头从背部剖开相连,去鳃洗净,在厚肉处斜划几刀,用料酒、盐、白胡椒粉抹匀腌15分钟。
  2. 姜蒜切好,热锅下1勺油,小火煸香剁椒、豆豉、蒜末约2分钟出红油,盛出备用。
  3. 盘底铺姜片,放鱼头,将炒好的剁椒均匀铺满鱼头表面。
  4. 蒸锅水大开,鱼头大火足汽蒸10至12分钟(视大小),关火虚蒸1分钟。
  5. 取出倒去盘中多余腥水,撒葱花,淋蒸鱼豉油。
  6. 另起锅烧热2勺油至冒烟,泼在葱花剁椒上激香,点缀紫苏即可。
小贴士
  • 鱼头传统选鳙鱼(胖头鱼)头,肉嫩胶质多,其他大鱼头也可。
  • 剁椒可自制(鲜椒加盐发酵月余)或用市售,自制的酸香更地道。
  • 蒸的时间看鱼头大小,一斤半左右大火蒸10至12分钟,过久肉老;出锅淋热油激香是灵魂(传统多配紫苏、豆豉增香,可按口味调整)。
剁椒鱼头相传源于清雍正年间文人黄宗宪避难湘潭农家,食鱼头与剁椒同蒸而惊艳,2023年其制作技艺列入湖南省非物质文化遗产,2018年入选湖南十大经典名菜,红亮剁椒寓意鸿运当头。

Steamed Fish Head with Chopped Chili

A whole fish head steamed under a blanket of fermented chopped chili, Hunan's lucky red centerpiece.

25 minutes · 2 to 3 · Medium · Spicy and savory

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Split the head at the back leaving it joined, remove gills and rinse; score the thick flesh, rub with wine, salt and pepper, marinate 15 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp oil, fry the chopped chili, black beans and garlic over low heat 2 minutes until the oil turns red, set aside.
  3. Line a plate with ginger, place the head, spread the chili mixture evenly over it.
  4. Steam over rapidly boiling water on high heat 10 to 12 minutes depending on size, then rest 1 minute off heat.
  5. Pour off excess broth, scatter spring onions, add steamed fish soy sauce.
  6. Heat 2 tbsp oil until smoking, pour over the chili and onions to sizzle, garnish with perilla.
Tips
  • Traditionally a bighead carp head is used for its tender meat and gelatin; other large heads are fine.
  • Homemade chopped chili (fresh peppers salted and fermented for a month) gives the best sour-spicy aroma; store-bought works too.
  • Steam time depends on size, about 10 to 12 minutes for 750g; overcooking toughens the meat. The final hot-oil sizzle is essential (perilla and black beans are traditional extras, adjust to taste).
Legend traces the dish to the Qing scholar Huang Zongxian, who while taking refuge in a Xiangtan farmhouse ate a fish head steamed with chopped chili and was amazed. Its making craft became a Hunan provincial intangible cultural heritage in 2023, and it was named among Hunan's Ten Classic Dishes in 2018; the red chili topping symbolizes good fortune.
