Poon Choi Hot Pot fish with Garlic Vermicelli （蒜蓉冬粉盆菜火锅鱼）

Fish is a healthy meal. There are numerous methods to prepare fish. Stir-frying, steaming, deep-frying, or even air-frying fish are the most popular seafood preparation techniques. How are you preparing your fish?

Let me show you a brand-new method to prepare fish in a hot pot with vegetables. It is something like Poon Choy because of the veggies that are placed beneath the fish before it is laid in. The fact that the pot is adding broth and a heat source has been set up on the dinner table to maintain a simmering pot soup stock makes it like a hot pot.

Imagine having this fish in a large hot pot with all the ingredients on top of one another, everyone gathered, and chopsticks staggered. The atmosphere is especially lively, the food is great, and everyone is enjoying themselves at the table. Because the fish was on top, we began with that and moved on to the delicious vegetables.

I am using homemade chicken broth as the pot soup. The fish was lying on a bed of glass noodles, sliced king oyster mushrooms, and Chinese long cabbages. The stock becomes sweet and rich when the Chinese cabbages and the broth are fused together.

Making the garlic sauce is the most crucial stage in preparing this dish. The fish's meat was tangy and garlicky when you took a bite. All the flavour from the garlic sauce that is added to the broth has been absorbed by the vermicelli and the mushrooms.

INGREDIENTS

1 whole fish, cut into thick slices

500ml chicken broth

30g Chinese long cabbages

50g vermicelli

100 king oyster mushroom, sliced

15g sliced ginger

Fish seasoning

1 ½ tbsp salt

2 tsp light soy sauce

1 tsp sugar

¼ tsp white pepper

2 tsp Shaoxing wine

1 stalk of spring onion, cut into short lengths

15g sliced ginger

3 tbsp cornstarch

Garlic sauce

1 whole head minced garlic

4-5 bird eyes chilies, diced

1-2 spur chilies, diced

1 tbsp steam fish soy sauce

1 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tsp salt

¼ tsp sugar

METHOD

1. Softened the vermicelli with room temperature water.

2. Clean the fish and cut into thick slices, add the seasoning, and mix well, marinate for 10 minutes.

3. Stir fry the minced garlic and chilies slowly until fragrant, add the seasoning to taste.

4. Placed the ginger slices in the pot together with the Chinese long cabbages, the sliced king oyster mushroom, and the softened vermicelli. Lay the sliced fish neatly on top of the vegetables. Pour the chicken broth over the equally spread garlic sauce. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes on low heat or until the fish slices are cooked. ENJOY!!

Fried Taro Puff Dumplings (Woo KOK 芋角)

Taro puff dumplings or Woo Kok ( 芋角 ) are another must-eat snack when you go to a restaurant. The outside is honeycomb-shaped, and the inside is soft and smooth. Even if you go to a restaurant to eat, not every restaurant makes them crispy. And for that reason, I decided to learn how to make this snack. Someone once told me, because of the complicated workmanship, it is difficult to make at home. She advised me not to spend effort on it. If you know me well, I always like to challenge my limits. Today, I will show you how to make them! The fillings of taro dumplings must contain pork, dried shrimps, and mushrooms! The filling can be prepared one day ahead. The dumpling skin is made of taro paste. I am using Areca taro ( 槟榔芋 ). It has a tough, brown exterior with an interior that is white/beige in color with purple flecks. The ideal taro for this recipe will be more mature and starchier. The hardest and most tiresome step of the entire process is frying Woo Kok. A crispy crust w...

Steamed Spareribs With Sand Ginger （沙姜蒸排骨）

Steamed spareribs with sand ginger is a delicious Cantonese dish. The main ingredients are spareribs and sand ginger. Sand ginger, also known as galangal, is a spicy spice that adds a unique flavor to this dish. It is one of four types of galangals, a rhizome in the ginger family. Fresh sand ginger is paler in color on the inside and woodier and coarser in texture than standard ginger. As a result, it is more difficult to peel and grate. So, I just cleaned it with a tiny brush and chopped it with the skin. Fresh sand ginger might not be available at other places, so they will powder form instead. When dried, the flavor becomes a little less intense. I love how the fresh sand ginger tastes when combined with other spices or ingredients to create the sauce for meat. Apart from the ribs, I also add glass noodles and yuba or dried tofu skin. The ribs, glass noodles and dried tofu skin absorb all the sauce, enhanced by the flavor of sand ginger and oyster sauce. You can use san...

Steamed Chicken With Cordyceps Flowers and Shitake Mushrooms （虫草花香菇蒸鸡）

Steam chicken is the easiest way of cooking with health benefits, and delicious flavor. Just simply marinate the bite sized pieces of chicken for minutes to obtain a basic flavor then steam for 20 to 25 minutes. That’s so simple. My husband loves steam food. This is due to the fact that steaming food is nutrient preservation, calorie and fat reduction. Additionally, it keeps the natural flavor to the maximum. Normally, I will add mushrooms, lily blossoms and black fungus for additional texture. For this recipe, I replace the lily blossoms with cordyceps flowers. It is a type of orange-yellow grass and it’s good for nourishing the lungs and kidneys, protecting the liver, nourishing skin and beauty, and improving immunity. It is extremely delicious when used to make soup or steam dishes! You don’t have to add water to the chicken, the marinade, chicken, and mushrooms release a broth-like mix of fluids that tastes amazing over rice. Are you drooling? This is an easy and delicious ...
