SWEET & SOUR FISH
(WOLF-HERRING)
This evening, I managed to persuade Bryan to prepare a sweet and sour dish. I had taken two pieces of fish to thaw.
Initially, I thought we could try out a MARMITE sauce on the fish, but Bryan said no, it wouldn't go.
Crab okay, even chicken.
But fish? Nahhh ...

1. The Fish
season with seasalt, pepper and five spice powder
Sprinkle organic arrowroot powder over.
I forget why we have to coat the fish with that.
It's either to :
(a) keep the fish dry; OR
(b) seal the flavour in; OR
(c) make it crispy
Pan fry the fish in hot oil.
Whooops! A lil too brown. O dear.
Never mind, the sauce will cover it up. :D

3. The Sauce
Sauce Mixture : water, tomato ketchup, brown rice vinegar,
shoyu, brown sugar and seasalt.
shoyu, brown sugar and seasalt.
Saute garlic, ginger and onions
in sesame seed oil until fragrant.
Pour in the sauce mixture.
Add the vegetables and
rambutan-stuffed-pineapples.
We found a can of rambutan-stuffed-pineapples
that someone gave us during Chines New Year
and thought we might as well use that. :D
Add arrowroot powder (mixed with water).
Organic thickening agent.
Simmer for a bit and turn off flame.
Pour the sauce over the fried fish.
This is my plate. :D
We had the fish with brown rice. The fish was succulent, and the sauce was just right. It took a bit of, put a little bit more of this, and a little bit more of that, but in the end, the combination turned out just right. Sweet and Sour. :D
I had one shake of The Green Drink in the morning,
fried rice vermicelli for lunch and the above for dinner.
To Sum Up
1 shake & 2 meals
No juice. Fruit. BioFruity. Water. Coffee.
