Fish head with chopped pepper

Introduction:

"Basic characteristics: bright red color, strong taste and tender meat. The taste of the dish is waxy and soft, fat but not greasy, salty, fresh and slightly spicy. It is said that during the reign of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, Huang Zongxian passed through a small village in Hunan Province and stayed at the farmer's house. The farmer's son caught a river fish from a pond. The hostess put salt in the fish to make soup, chopped the pepper and steamed it with the fish head. Huang Zongxian thought it was very delicious. After returning home, he asked the chef at home to improve, so today's "minced pepper fish head" came into being. Pepper is not a native Chinese species, it is native to tropical central and South America, is the most important Indian condiment. Pepper was introduced to Europe in 1493. At the end of the 16th century, pepper was introduced into China as an ornamental flower, but it has not been used in food. In Zunsheng bajian (1591) written by Gao Lian in Ming Dynasty, there is the earliest record of pepper in China, "pepper is clumped, white flower, fruit looks like bald pen, spicy and red, very considerable". There are two ways for pepper to be introduced into China: one is to enter South China through the Strait of Malacca and take root and sprout in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangdong; the other is to take the golden silk road from West Asia to Gansu and Shaanxi and cultivate in Northwest China. The northwest people eat chili, although not as fierce as the present Sichuan people, but it is also an indispensable food. Guizhou and its neighboring areas were the first places in China to eat hot pepper. During the reign of Kangxi, pepper was once used to replace salt in Guizhou. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, Guizhou, Zhenxiong of Yunnan and Chenzhou of Hunan began to eat a lot of hot pepper. [Baidu] "
