Steamed Fish fillet with Rice vermicelli





When I saw Anncoo's  post on 'Steamed prawns with vermicelli' some time ago,  I told myself that I must make something like this.  So, I tweaked it a bit and managed to come up with this  ....... 'Steamed Fish fillet with Rice Vermicelli'.



Marinate the fish fillet with the seasoning, keep aside for a while.  Then arrange them on a bed of soaked rice vermicelli, steam under rapidly boiling water for about 8 mins. and then dinner is ready!






A nutritious and  healthy one dish meal enough for 3 servings ........ serve with some chopped chilly and Enjoy!

  4. Mix the salt, oyster and fish sauce in  the cup of water and pour it over the rice vermicelli.
  5. Arrange the marinated fish fillet on the rice vermicelli.
  6. Saute the chopped garlic with the oil and keep aside.

  8. Turn off heat, drizzle in 2 Tbsp Shaoxing wine and add in the garlic oil mixture.

    This is a very light, healthy yet very flavourful steamed dish. I am sure these vermicelli would taste really great after absorbing all the juice from the fish.

    I tried this last night, for dinner, with red snapper, the only one I could find. Two small pathetic snapper costed me AUD11.67. Can you imagine??? But it was yummy and thanks! I added a lot more ginger though because we're both simply ginger freak!

    Yes, all the goodness have been absorbed by the vermicelli.

    Glad you liked it. Dollar for dollar, think the price is ok. Prices of fish have gone up quite a fair bit here too. But if we were to convert, then of course it's expensive.

Herbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Gao

H erbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Ga o literally translated means 'Tortoise Jelly' is one of my family's favourite desserts.  It's much more economical to prepare this at home for you'll need to fork out between Rm 9 to Rm 11 for a bowl of this cooling dessert in any of those herbal tea outlets.  This soothing jelly, served chilled, is supposed to be able to help reduce our body heat, helps to get rid of toxins and is believed to be good for the skin thus culminating a healthier complexion.

Double Boiled Herbal Chicken Soup

Double boiling is slow cooking ........ means to put a soup pot or any covered ceramic or steel pot inside a bigger pot, immerse in boiling water, and let the soup cook at a lower temperature.  Hence the soup is cooked from heat generated from the boiling water and not from direct heat source. Double boiling lets the soup ingredients slowly release their nutrients into the soup, thus making it tasty and wholesome.  It's a long cooking process, roughly averaging 2 to 4 hours.  The tip is not to open the cover to check on the soup as it'll bring down the temperature and affect the cooking process.  The plus point is there's little evaporation and the soup will not boil over.  The only thing is to monitor that there's enough water in the bigger pot and not let it run dry.  Of course, nowadays, the slow cooker is another alternative to double boiling, saves the hassle of checking the water level.
