Ikan Asam Padeh (Fish in Sour Sauce)

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds Fish Fillet
2 Shallots
Ginger 1 piece
2 Thai Chiles
1/2 tsp Turmeric
1/2 tsp Tamarind
2 tsp Soy Sauce (Dark)
2 tbsp Oil
Salt to taste
Pepper, black to taste

 How to:

Remove all skin from fish fillets, ensure that no bones remain and cut into serving-size pieces.

Chop very finely the shallots, ginger, garlic and chiles, and pound these together with the turmeric powder, tamarind and soy sauce (or use a food processor).

Heat the oil in a shallow pan and stir-fry the spice-paste for four to five minutes, then add the fish, cover with approximately one cup of cold water and bring to a boil.

Lower heat, season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper and cook over a very low heat until the fish is done.

Serve with fresh vegetables and rice.

Hot Cross buns

Image
I like any spicy and fruity sweet bread and buns. Since it is Easter I have the excuse to make a batch of hot cross buns.I like this Dan Lepard recipe - day bake with Mumsnet . I like the use of glace ginger, I am sure will be very nice. I am not one to follow any recipes exactly as written. I always add my own tweaks. I like to use this Dan's recipe together with water roux . My tweaks: 1. make a water roux using 60g of flour and 300ml water and add this to the bread mix.2. Here is the change to Dan's recipe ingredients: 175ml warm water (replaced by water roux) 1 sachet dry instant yeast (5 g or 1.5 tsp) 550g plain flour (changed to 250g plain flour and 250g bread flour) 1 tsp salt 75g sugar, any sort (reduced to 50g) 4 tsp mixed spice 75ml milk 75g butter, cut into smallish pieces 150g raisins or 100g currants (100g sultanas and 50g mixed peel) 150g chopped glacé ginger, or mixed peel (150 glacé ginger) Finely grated zest of an orange or lemon (lemon) 1 large e...

Yeung Ji Gum Lo 楊枝甘露

Image
Here is another request from a reader for a recipe.Yeung Ji Gum Lo 楊枝甘露 is a cold Chinese dessert created by some Hong Kong restaurant in the '80. It's quite a refreshing dessert soup which is creamy, sweet and fragrant from mango and pomelo. Very simple to make, all you need is gather the ingredients and mix everything together. The key ingredients are mango, pomelo, sago pearls, mango ice cream and cream/milk.In Hong Kong you can get Mango icecream easily but may be a bit difficult in UK. If you can find some that is great if not can use mango sorbet. Otherwise just use a good vanilla icecream with ripe mango puree.Pomelo is an oriental large grapefruit. In Chinese it is called 柚子 (yu z i). You can find this citrus fruit from Autumn to Winter in most Chinese supermarkets. You may find them in your local Lidl (in UK) from Nov - Feb too, cheaper than Chinese supermarkets. To eat this fruit you need to peel the rind and the skin each segment. Mos...
