LEFT FISH PASTE

What's your dinner for today? I'm having stuffed capsicum with my left fish paste, fried broccoli carrot & ABC soup. Heehee....

I used the left fish paste from last week Yong Liu "酿料" to stuff into capsicum. It's my favourite dish. The method is the same as the Yong Liu. It's the same, after stuffed, pan-fry it & cooked with garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce & water. Lastly, some corn flour solution.

Yum yum.... Going to have it soon. Bye-bye...... Have a great day to all of you!

YONG TAU FU 酿豆腐

Last Tuesday, I followed my friends to Lukut to buy fresh fishes. It is a place where the fishermen caught from the sea and sell it. I bought prawns ( used to cooked petai for yesterday nasi lemak ), few types of fishes included 㬵鱼 for today's Yong Tau Fu :-)

Here's my recipe for the filling :
• fish paste ( from 1kg 㬵鱼 )
• 1/2 bowl of 1 tsp salt water
• 200g minced meat
• 3 tsp salt
• some pepper

1. Remove meat from the fish. Add in salt & pepper. Use hand to squeeze while adding the salt water slowly. Squeeze and smash the meat become paste. It takes about 10 minutes.
2. Add in minced meat & mix until well-blended.
3. Now you can start to stuff into tofu pok, tofu, long bean, chilli, eggplant & others.
4. Pan-fry all the stuffed ingredients. Keep aside.

Here's the soup recipe :
• fish bone from the 㬵鱼 ( pan-fry with some oil until fragrant )
• 300-400g Soy bean 黄豆 ( pan-fry without oil until the skin broke )
• 2L water
• fish sauce
• salt

1. Put fish bones, soy beans & water in a pot. Bring to boil & simmer with low fire for 1 hour.
2. Add in fish sauce & salt to taste.
3. Finally, add in all the fried ingredients & boil for 3-5 minutes.

Serve with Meehoon or others noddles :-)
