[Recipe] 羗葱蒸石班 / Steamed garoupa with spring onions and ginger

响英國有時都買到又平又好味嘅餸, 好似呢條石班, 只係£6, 足夠二至三人吃, 如果係香港, 我一定買唔到, 一定被君.

Here is my way of how to steam fish:

1. Use a knife to remove the fish scales (coz the fishmonger always won't do it thoroughly)
2. Wash the fish and let it drain dry
3. Use a big wok, put in boiling water, lid on and wait till it boils again.
4. Meanwhile, prepare sliced ginger and spring onions.
5. Put a few spring onions to the dish, then the fish, and sprinkle the fish with a pinch of salt
6. When the water boils again, put in the fish and let it steams around 10 minutes (depends on the size of the fish).  And always check to see if the fish is thoroughly cook with a fork, stick it to the middle of the fish and to see if the fish meat falls off from the bones, if yes then it is cooked.  Never mind it will ruin the presentation because you can always cover it with the spring onions and ginger toppings :-)
7.  While u know there's still 2 or 3 minutes the fish will be cooked, use a small frying pan (or a milk pan would be perfect), put in 3 to 4 tbsp of oil, when the oil is hot enough, put in the ginger and spring onions, give it a bit of stir and cook for 1 minute, till u see they are sizzling.
8. When the fish is ready, you might notice there are lots of "juices" on the plate, so you might want to pour them away before topping the fish with the oil + spring onions + ginger dressing, finally add in 2 to 3 tbsp of soy sauce.  done !!!

自家種韭菜->韭菜豬肉包子

係我最愛嘅韭菜呀~~~~~~

這些是今個夏天第一次收成, 我想可能仲可以收多一次, 今年就係咁啦!!
呢到收咗幾條, 只夠做兩個韭菜豬肉包子, 好過冇啦!!

呢邊買韭菜好貴呢!! 一包£3 or £4, 香港可能賣$3 or $4, 所以包餃子嘅話我好多時都買鬼佬嘅leeks, 都好好味的！

Welsh lamb chop, peas & potato mash, fried onions and peppers

Noticed Waitrose doing special discount on Welsh lamb chop, so I gave it a try.
It tastes really nice, less fatty, but the meat is very tender, even though i overcooked it a bit unintentionally :-p

The big greenish thing on the plate is peas and potato mash.  It was my first try, luckily Mr Chen likes it.  haha

Penne and roasted peppers in tomato sauce

The black bits are roasted peppers, cooked under the grill along with the ribs and squid in my previous post :-p

Grilled squid and ribs

They are cooked under the grill, seasoned with "sichuan" peppercorn and salts, yum!!!

Rye bread

Here is my usual bread loaf again.  This time I used half white bread flour and half rye bread flour, added 3 tbsp of oats, a very healthy bread :-)

星洲炒米

As the pic telling u, I didn't put in any roast pork.  That's why it looks weird and plain :-S
I only put in prawns, bean sprouts, yellow peppers, red chillies, shallots, garlic, ginger and curry powder.  I did prepared some spring onions but I totally forgot about it.

Never mind, will do it again.

酒香乾蔥煀雞翼

Not bad, taste like Soy Sauce chicken wings haha!!  I guess I need to put in more cooking wine next time.
