Рецепт Fish in Black Bean Sauce
When I was younger I barely know dishes that are made from fish as most of the fish dishes in Philippines are fried and I had limited exposure to fish dishes such as this one. So since then when we dine out the first thing that I will look for would either be a seafood or fish dish so I could learn from what I eat.
This recipe is one of my favourite fish dishes (yeah I have a lot of favourites), I still remember the first time I tried it in a Chinese restaurant in Malaysia, I really enjoyed it that is why since then I cook them at home once in a while, I like its salty sauce cutting through the delicate flavours of tofu and fish. Truly a very tasty dish yet very nutritious, good for the health conscious!
Fish in Black Bean Sauce
500g fish fillet, cut into medium sized cubes (any fleshy fish would do) 12 pcs small blocks fried tofu 1 large green capsicum / bell pepper, sliced 2 tbsp salted black beans 2 tbsp black bean sauce 1 tbsp soy sauce 1 cup water ½ cup cornstarch 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 thumb sized ginger, minced 1 shallot, minced fish sauce or sea salt freshly ground black pepper oil
Place cornstarch in a plate then dredge the fish pieces on it until it’s lightly coated. Heat up oil in a wok and shallow fry fish quickly on each side until it becomes golden brown, it will take around 2 to 3 minutes on each side. In the same wok where fish is fried sauté garlic, shallot and ginger. Add green capsicum then stir fry for a minute. Then add fish and tofu. Add water, black bean sauce, soy sauce, sugar and black beans bring to a boil, turn fish once and simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce becomes thick. If the sauce is thin you can add a bit of cornstarch slurry to thicken it. Flavour with fish sauce and season with freshly ground black pepper. 3.5.3208
