Introduction to Hubei’s Ziba Fish

Hubei’s Ziba Fish, or 糍粑鱼, stands out as one of the most loved home-cooked dishes in the region. Known for its savory and spicy flavors, it’s a dish that can transform a simple meal into a culinary delight—a perfect companion for rice lovers! This guide will walk you through preparing this delicious fish dish that guarantees to impress your family and friends.

Preparation Steps for Ziba Fish

To make Ziba Fish, begin with fresh grass carp or tilapia. Clean the fish thoroughly and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Marinate the fish in a tablespoon of salt for at least twenty minutes, or ideally, overnight. This step is critical as it helps firm up the fish meat, ensuring a delightful texture. Once marinated, pat the fish dry with a kitchen towel.

Cooking Method and Flavor Profile

Heat a generous amount of oil—twice what you would typically use for regular stir-frying—in your pan and cook the fish pieces until they are golden brown on the outside. Next, add strips of fresh ginger and finely chopped fresh chili peppers, sautéing them for about two minutes until fragrant. A unique twist some cooks use is to include Sichuan peppercorns for an extra layer of flavor, though today we’ll stick to the basics. Pour in six tablespoons of soy sauce and reduce the heat to allow the fish to absorb the flavors fully. Cooking on low heat allows the sauce to concentrate, giving the Ziba Fish its signature spicy characteristic. Pair this dish with steamed rice, as it truly is a rice killer!
