Steam Chilli Fish

Chilli Steam Fish

Other than chicken, fish is the another protein source that we cook and consume a lot at home. With fish we can cook curry, steam or just fried plain. And we typically buy only these several types of fish or rather the ones that we are familiar with. We like pomfret (black, silver or golden), salmon, basa, mackerel, sea bass, perch, and occasionally grouper. We have a wide range of recipe to cook these fish with.

Asam Chilli Fish

Except for the salmon, most of the type of fish we cook at home are tropical fish. And besides fish we also like squid, octopus, shrimps and some shelled seafood. Yesterday, we decided to steam a piece of pomfret with chilli paste mix. The paste we used was also one of those that we bought from T&T Supermarket, the Asam Chilli sauce for fish. There is a variety of fish paste sold in the supermarket that is perfect for steaming fish.

Traditional Lotus Root Soup

Earlier, we have also prepared a pot of lotus root and ground nut soup. In the soup we have added a few pieces of dried squid for flavour and taste. This is a traditional Chinese soup which is a common cuisine in the homes of ethnic Chinese. The preparation is simple and cooking is easy. All that is to be done after preparing the lotus root, ground nut, pork or chicken bones, and dried squid is to boil the soup for about an hour. And add a pinch of salt for taste before serving.
