what is silverfish?
I translate from the chinese name. It is actually a type of anchovy, but smaller and totally white in color. Can get them in provision shops where they sell anchovy, dried shrimps, peanuts etc.. and you can specify how much you want and pay by weight. We get them also in supermarkets too, pre-packed in standard weight.
hi,
if i were to make pork and peanut soup, do i need to do step 1?
Step 1 is optional, but experience show that the peanuts get soften faster in the cooking.
hmm i ask canadian girl she said silverfish crawl in dark on bathroom floor at night..is this same or is silver fish something from ocean? i do not understand?
No, the silver fish in this recipe are not the crawly things. “Silver fish”, is translated from Mandrin. They are a kind of anchovy, ie small fish, that are silvery white in color when they are fresh, and slight yellowish white when dried. Not sure if you can get this in Canada supermarkets, shops in China town will be the best bet.
