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!!

Dong Po Rou （东坡肉）

Dong Po Rou （东坡肉） – wine braised pork belly. It’s rich and savoury, tender that melts into your mouth. Traditionally, the pork belly is pan-fried before being braised or stewed for one to one and a half hours on low heat. Some of the recipes even call for steaming for an additional half an hour after stewing. It is very time-consuming. But as you are aware, I enjoy making recipes simpler without compromising the taste. You, too, I'm sure. Therefore, I skipped the pan-frying step and proceeded directly to braising the pork after blanching it, and then continued to cook with a pressure cooker. Don't worry; the dish's flavour remains unaffected. I'm hoping this simplified method may come in handy for your regular cooking. Trim off the edges of the pork and cut it into 3x3 cubes. Tie cooking twine around each cube. This will assist the cubes in keeping their form while cooking. If the pork that you bought is at the mid portion of the belly is ideal, there is a nice bala...

Canned braised pork belly (罐头扣肉）

  A must-have dish for the Lunar New Year is steamed braised pork ( 扣肉 ). Some people enjoy making braised pork with yam, while others prefer to use preserved veggies. The key to making braised pork is to boil the meat first, then deep-fry it, and finally steam it. The sauces are the key to enhancing the flavour of the braised pork with either yam or preserved veggies. Of course, choosing pork that is half-fat and lean pork belly tastes the best is also crucial.   You can choose how thinly you want the pork slices. I sliced my pork to a thinness of 10 to 15 mm thinness.  Another crucial tip is to just use wine and no water when preparing the braised pork. I'm using Shaoxing wine, and it's been proven that the more wine you use, the tastier and more fragrant the meat will be and that the meat will remain fragrant after stewing. As I mentioned, this braised pork needs to boil first, then be deep-fried.  For those who find frying meat is very troublesome , you can w...

Ginkgo Bean Curd and Barley Sugar dessert (白果腐竹薏米糖水)

Do you miss this delicacy of Ginkgo Bean Curd and Barley Sugar dessert? When did you most recently enjoy or make it? Ginkgo, commonly known as ginkgo. It is very popular when used to cook bean curd sheets. I went to a dessert house two days ago. The waitress was serving this dessert to a young lady who was sitting next to me. I overheard that lady comment about that dessert is different from other dessert houses. So, I give it a go. I am not sure how it was different from other dessert houses. But it is different from what I had before. It is creamy, smooth, and rich in flavour. So, I am going to copycat this, and my family loves it so much. Especially youngsters who do not like any small chunks to chew on with liquid dessert. This dessert can be cooked on the stove or pressure cooker. There's a catch, though: Yuba sheets or bean curd sheet, also known as Fu Chuk, come in a variety of forms.   If you opt for making this dessert over a stove, need to choose the kind that disso...
