Chopped chilli fish

History

Who knows man. It apparently originates in Hunan and was a favourite of Mao Ze Dong's.

Recipe

Really easy, get huajiao and fermented chillis. Chopped garlic and ginger into a bowl and mix vinegar and sugar.

Get some barramundi fillets and steam them in a bowl or something that can catch the juices. Then heat up some oil until it really hot and pour on top.

Serve with fresh chopped scallions.

Take 1 and 2

Chopped chilli fish in a bowl

In take 1, I used a plate to steam it the barramundi. But in take 2 I used a bowl.

In take 2 I added extra vinegar to the garlic ginger sugar chilli huajiao bowl.

This recipe was just a winner. I wrote about my dong'an chicken and it was a disappointment. But this dish is insanely quick to cook, and very very tasty very easily.
