FISH WITH HUM CHOY

Hi friends,

Today I'll give a fast and simple recipe. An every day dish cooked by most household.

Hum choy is a preserved vegetable, salty and sour, you can buy this in most chinese shops and sold either in packets or in cans.
You can use any fish but easier if you use Rockling fillet (no bones), I used Rockling fillets .

Slice up the Hum choy after washing it. ( some people who don't like it so salty can soak it for a while in a bowl of water.)
I use it straight so I cut out the salt ( in the cooking)and this has a better taste.
Slice ginger, garlic ,spring onions, tomatoes, corriander and chilies if you like some kick in this dish.
Cut up the fish into bite size, season with pepper, salt, abit of chinese wine, sesame oil and cornflour.
Pan fry or deep fry the fillets, drain and put aside.
Fry the sliced ginger, garlic in 2 tabl.sp oil, add the Hum choy, chilies, tomatoes , a dash of soy sauce, a pinch of sugar, 1/2 cup water and simmer 5 mins. Add another 1/2 cup water, add the fish, the s. onions and corriander leaves, simmer 1 min, stir and dish up .
Serve with steam rice.
