Steamed Fish

Hello,

Steamed fish is one of the classic Chinese dish, often served at the weddings and other festive occasions. Most of the Chinese seafood restaurant in Asia also served steamed whole fish with soy sauce with ginger. We used to order steamed fish when we go to Chinese restaurant with a large group of friend and family.

It's not easy to find Chinese seafood restaurant here in where we live unless we go to the big city and the price quite expensive. So cooking steamed fish at home is the solution, easier and cheaper. For this time, I used fillets instead of whole fish.

STEAMED FISH

Ingredients;

250g fish fillets
3cm fresh ginger, finely julienne
A handful of shredded scallion
1/4 cup light soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons oil

METHOD;

- Mix soy sauce and sugar, set aside.
- Place fish fillets onto a plate and steam the fish for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the steamed fish in another plate and top with scallion.
- In a small pan, heat oil until hot, add ginger and soy sauce. Heat until bubbles up and boils and spoon hot oil over the fish.

Bon appétit!

Sawadikha,

Thai curry either red or green curry paste can be cooked with chicken, shrimp, beef or fish. Thai prawn curry is one of my favourite dishes because I just love very hot spicy food, the more spicy the better. The curry dishes in restaurant wasn't spicy enough for me, so sometimes I ask for an extra chillies. That's how I enjoy my food, hot and spicy!

Homemade Pizza

Bonjourno,

I don't make pizza quite often but when I do, I used Roberta's pizza dough recipe, it's easy and always turned out great. I've been making this pizza dough recipe for years now and it's perfect! I personally like thin crust pizza, crispy and a little chewy.

Ratatouille

Bonjour,

I crave ratatouille recently and since I've had some veggies in the fridge except eggplant, so I thought even without eggplant, it's not a big problem, right. We had ratatouille for dinner, this French ratatouille is super healthy and delicious.

2 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 eggplant, diced (I don't have eggplant, I used 1 carrot)
1 courgette, diced
1 red pepper, diced
1 tomatoes, chopped
1 small canned tomato sauces
A few sprigs of fresh thyme/ dried thyme
Olive oil, salt and pepper

METHOD;

- Heat little olive oil in a saucepan over a medium heat, add onion, garlic and thyme, fry for a few minutes or until softened.
- Since I used carrot, add chopped carrots first before other vegetables, cook for a few minutes.
- Add the courgettes, peppers and tomatoes, mix well.
- Simmer for another few minutes, add in canned tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.
- Cover the pan and simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes or until vegetables are soft.

Bon appétit!
