Salted Cabbage With Tofu Soup

Our second recipe for this week is a soup......and again, it's another simple dish that's gonna impress your taste bud. FYI, all of the recipes that will make an entrance in this blog this week are those of the healthy ones - which is of course, in parallel with my diet regime.....hehehe.

This particular recipe was inspired by the soup I had in Qing Zhen Chinese Muslim Restaurant @ Novotel Hotel a couple of weeks ago. I had lunch there with my other colleagues while entertaining our counterpart from Japan. It was a dim sum lunch buffet where one of the menu was the Salted Vegetable With Bean Curd Soup.

I fell in love with it the moment it makes physical contact with my tounge. The sourish taste of the salted cabbage blend in very well with the plain taste of the tofu. I love this particular soup very much that I planned to construct the recipe myself. This way, I could have it as often as I wish to. Based on my visual observation & the sensitivity of my tongue, I managed to come up with the recipe - with some modifications to localize the taste.

So, here are all the ingredients required :

Cooking it tremendously easy.

1. Fry the ginger, garlic & the crushed white pepper with a bit of oil, till fragrant.

2. Add in the chicken & continue frying for a minute or so.

3. Then, add in the water & wait till it boils.

4. Put in the salted vege & tofu. Salt to taste.

5. Finally add the leaks & turn off the flame.

6. You can now enjoy your soup - jangan lupa Bismillah !

Steamed Sea Bass With Taucu

I am dedicating this week as the Food Week coz it's all about food that I'm gonna blog about. I have a few recipes & restaurant's reviews stored in my database which will finally make their entry in Red Scoot On The Block.......yeeee haaaaaa !

Since I'll be tremendously busy this week with 400++ valves to quote, I guess it's the best time to finally published all those old entries deposits. At least I wont be feeling that bad for abandoning this blog for one whole week.

My first recipe for the week would be a old family recipe of mine. It is such a simple recipe yet so tasty that you yourself wont understand how a simple recipe can turned out to be very outstanding. I'll name this dish as Steamed Sea Bass With Taucu.

Ingredients

500 gm of Sea Bass (siakap)
4 shallots, thinly sliced
2 red chillies, sliced
( can swap with cili padi for a more powerful impact)
1 in ginger, cut to small pieces
3 tbsp taucu
1 sprig spring onion, cut into 2 cm length
1 tsp sugar


How To

- Make 2-3 diagonal slice along both sides of the fish.
- Combine all ingredients (except spring onions) in a bowl.
- Put 1/4 of the mixed ingredients on a shallow baking dish.
- Then, place the fish on top of those ingredients.
- Put the remaining ingredients evenly on the fish.
- Steam under high heat for a good 20 minutes.
- Sprinkle the spring onions & steam for another 1 min.
- Ready to serve.



Notes

1. Other than Sea Bass, other white meat fish like Tenggiri & Kerisi are a good substitute/
2. The key for a perfect steamed fish lies on the fish itself - it's important that the fish is fresh.

So, am I right? It is super duper easy !
