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
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.
