Fish with Bak Choy

A favourite fish dish that is a family favourite:

Ingredients :
500 gms of White Fish fillet(not thick) - (Pagnacius- Cread Dori, Sole, Hammour, Bhetki)
10 Bak Choy Leaves including a bit of the stem (PAK SOI)
20 Garlic Cloves
10-15 Green Chillies
Soy Sauce
1-2 Onions
1 Capsicum (Green Peppet)
3 tsp Garlic Paste
Oil
Salt

Process:
Wash the fish fillets and cut them into small pieces and put them in a marinade bowl. Apply the garlic paste on all the pieces. Then mix them with about 3 tablespoons of Garlic Paste. Cover the bowl and keep aside for 2-3 hours.

In the meantime you could do any other household chores or watch TV. To save time you could also decide to get involved in the arrangement for the finale.

Peel the Garlic Cloves and chop them or cut them into longitudinal pieces(I prefer the second one). Peel onions, cut them into cubes and then separate each piece. Cut capsicum into large pieces. Wash the Bak Choy and keep. If they are too big just cut them into two.

You are almost ready now for the final plunge, assuming that 2-3 hours have elapsed. Place a wok on the flame and pour some oil(about 3-4 tablsepoons should be good). Take cornflour on a plate. Pick up each piece of fish and put them onto plate of cornflour ensuring that both sides are covered white. Then put it in the pan. You might have to do this in two or three cycles depending upon the size of the pan. Once both sides of the fish pieces are crispy fried, transfer them to a plate.

You are done with the frying. Now I assume that your wok has still some oil left. You need about 2-3 tablespoons of oil and if that is still there in the wok you have saved yourself from pouring some more.

Heat the oil full flame and throw in the garlic. Stir till brown and then put in the chillies. The aroma emanating is part of the pleasures of cooking. Keep stirring and then put in the fried fish. Stir once andput in the bak choy leaves and the capsicum. Reduce the flame to medium. Stir for 30 seconds and pour about 3-4 tablespoons of soys aauce. At this point of time I pick up a p[ece of fish and garlic to taste for salt(Soy sauce is very salty). If required I would throw in some salt now. Continue to stir for about 2 minutes and you are done. Serve with steamed of fried rice.

The outcome is pure bliss!!! Let me if know if you enjoyed it. Sphere: Related Content
