The Cyprinoid, a type of Carp from the Yellow River is soaked in fresh water for two or three days prior to cooking to remove the earthy smell. A Cyprinoid is cut into three, with one fillet being fried; the other cooked with Sweet and Sour Sauce. The rest of the fish, its head and tail are boiled together with radish slices to make a tasty and nutritious soup. After you have enjoyed the fish, you can mix some noodles with the remaining sweet and sour sauce.
