A Fishy Tale

Hello once again! Just saw this quaint little recipe while watching a cooking show called Hao chr," 好吃" at the Asian Food Channel (afc). This really turned my seafood taste around and I know you'll love it too because these fishes have never been this flavorful and not to mention down-to-earth oriental. So, here are the easy steps to win the heart of a true fish. <3 p="">

Cooking 104: A Fishy Tale

Ingredients:

Any kind of medium-sized fish as long as it is FRESH! (ex: tuna, milkfish!, salmon, milkfish!!, garoupa, kingfish, milkfish!!! etc.) haha ^_^

Ginger

Garlic

Leek / Spring onion

Onion

Black beans &

Chicken essence (our secret ingredient for today) - - ->
Can be bought in any Chinese drugstore and for me, it tastes incredibly bad! Haha. It is actually a stew taken after boiling a whole chicken. It has many health benefits and after adding this to our recipe, it became incredibly and shockingly good! Must try this, I tell you.

Cook it:

Saute ginger, onion, garlic and black beans in a very hot pan until golden brown.

Add in washed and thoroughly cleaned fresh fish and stir it a little. Put in a little amount of water and cover pan.

Wait for 2 minutes and turn the fish the other side. Repeat until the fish is fully cooked. Gradually add in water and bring them to boil.

Add in leek, soy sauce, sugar and salt to taste.

Cover pan for 5-10 minutes and serve!

It will look a little like this.

Too bad I have no picture of my steamed fish. I used cut salmons. It really tastes good. There's that flavor that you can't simply just put a finger on. Just remember when in cooking fishes, the most important thing is that the fish has to be fresh. Even the world's greatest chef can't make a many-days old fish delicious. This is all folks. Thank you and hope you'll try this recipe! So easy and so delicioso!

Ciao!
