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

Lazy dumplings for breakfast

  In our house, when the kids were little, this dumpling was the best breakfast option. Compared to traditional dumplings, this is considerably delicious, healthier, and easier. Having those lazy dumplings made and ready to re-steam for ten minutes as breakfast for kids or adults makes a big difference during the school weekday morning rush. My family will never tire of eating it every day. Family members will occasionally ask to have it made for lunch or perhaps dinner. The dumpling wrapper is the main ingredient in this delicious treat. I'm using store-bought dumpling wrappers since I want to make this dish as simple as possible. It was purchased from the market. It has a completely different filling than the pan-fried Japanese dumplings called gyoza. It has black fungus and scrambled eggs in it.   Egg gives a simple and nutritious breakfast choice. Black fungus has relatively high protein and fiber.   One thing good about this lazy dumpling is you don’t have to pleats along th

Osmanthus fried wings (桂花翅)

Whenever I went to a wedding meal. The first "Hot and Cold" dish, particularly the scrambled eggs with shark fin and crab meats, is always devoured by the diners. It turns out that it goes by the extremely lovely name of osmanthus Wings ( 桂花翅 ). Due to the propaganda to protect sharks. The restaurant no longer serves this dish with shark fins. In Hong Kong, osmanthus fried wings with sweet-scented osmanthus are a unique meal. You can find interesting names for their items on the menu if you ever pay attention to it. when you order something only to discover that it is not what you ordered. This meal is comparable to another one called "ants on the tree,” ( 蚂蚁上树 ) which is stir-fried vermicelli with minced pork. Originally, Osmanthus fried wings are not using real shark fins, but imitation shark fins which are replaced by vegetarian fins are made of gelatin, or you may also substitute with vermicelli. The scrambled egg looks like osmanthus fragrans, so it is called os
