Basa Fillet with Garlic Sauce/鱼香龙利鱼

IMG_0209

This is a super easy dish, it will only take you 10 minutes from preparing to finish cooking. It is a must try yummy dish!!!!!

Basa fillet 1 pound/one whole piece

White rice vinegar 1/4 cup

Water ¼ cup

Balsamic vinegar ¼ cup

Sugar ¼ cup

Pinch of salt

Pinch of white pepper

1 tbsp of light soy sauce

Bring a big pot of water to boil, add in 2 slices of ginger and 2tsp of salt, turn the heat to medium, then cook the fish in the boiling water for about 7 minutes or until it is done. Place the fish in a long plate.

In another small pot, except white pepper and salt add in the rest ingredients and bring to bubbling, turn the heat to low and continue to cook for a minute or so, add 2 tbsp. of sweet potato starch water to thicken the sauce. Dust some white pepper and pinch of salt to the fish then pour the sauce over the fish.

So far this is the easiest fish dish I’ve ever cooked. It is easy but it tastes super delicious. Make sure you don’t overcook the fish. Turn the heat low when the sauce start to bubble otherwise all the sourness will evaporate. The original recipe doesn’t have water, I’ve tried it myself, and it is a bit too sour for me. If you don’t have Italy balsamic vinegar, you can use just regular Chinese Balsamic vinegar, after all this is a Chinese dish.

龙利魚柳 1 磅 / 一整条

白米醋 1/4 杯

¼ 杯水

香醋 ¼ 杯

糖 ¼ 杯

一点盐

一点白胡椒粉

一大勺生抽

一大锅水煮沸後,加入姜 2 片和 2 茶匙的鹽,火开小一些,然後放魚进去煮約 7 分鐘,或直到它熟。將魚放在長的盘子里。

在另一個小鍋裡,添加其他除盐和白胡椒以外的材料煮至冒泡,火调低,繼續煮一分鐘,加 2 湯匙的甘薯澱粉水勾芡醬汁。撒点白胡椒和盐在鱼上,然后把醬汁倒在魚上面。

到目前為止,這是我煮過最簡單的魚。它很容易煮,但它的味道却超級好吃。請你不要把鱼煮太过了。酱汁冒泡后一定把火溫調低,否則醋的酸味會蒸發掉。原來的食譜沒有水,我已經試了一次,對我來說有點太酸。如果你沒有義大利香醋,你可以使用普通的中国香醋。我是用義大利香醋煮的。

雞胸肉 1 磅
培根 6 條
切達乾酪乳酪 3 盎司。
4 湯匙蛋黃醬
鹽和黑胡椒 少量

這個食譜是超級容易,但超級好吃。大約半個小時你的雞就準備好了。
預熱烤箱至 425F。

首先雞加少許鹽和黑胡椒调味,請確保您不使用太多盐和黑胡椒,因為乳酪和熏肉是咸的東西。用蛋黄酱覆蓋住鸡肉,然後用煙肉包起来。把雞放在烤盤上,放入已預熱的烘爐里烘烤 25 分鐘。雞从烤箱取出来撒上乳酪,繼續烤 3 分鐘。這道菜很多汁好吃又嫩。
