    Hi Cheah
    This dish is just wonderful....as I have lots of ginseng slices and chicken essence with me. I usually put ginseng slices in chicken soup or either put the slices in hot water and drink it. Thanks for sharing.

    Cheah, I never like to take chicken essence because of the smell but your steamed fish looks delicious. I want to change my mind to use the chicken essence for steaming!

      I too don't like to take chicken essence on its own, that's why I added it to the steamed fish.

    Your steamed-fish looks perfectly cooked there. My whole family loves fish & these days, I love to bake salmon fish once a week.

Korean Honey Citron Tea (柚子茶 ) Muffins

  I added a few tablespoonfuls of Korean Honey Citron Tea or Yuzu marmalade to a basic muffin recipe and the muffins were delicious. They were soft, nice, not crumbly with a bit of tangy taste of the Yuzu, well accompanied with a cup of piping hot coffee or tea. These muffins taste best when eaten warm.   A few teaspoonfuls of the marmalade mixed with water can be turned into a hot or cold drink to soothe the throat especially if there's a first sign of a cough. Korean Honey Citron Tea (柚子茶 ) Muffins     Ingredients 220 gm plain flour 70 gm caster sugar 2 tsp baking powder 5 Tbsp honey citron tea (Yuzu tea) marmalade 1 'L'egg 160 gm plain yoghurt 80 gm vegetable oil 1/4 tsp vanilla a pinch of salt Method Sift flour, baking powder and salt, set aside.
