Hi everyone. So it has been awhile again. I actually didn’t realize how long it has been since I last posted. The other day I made a Chinese style black bean fish that came out pretty good.  It’s a dish I have never made and rarely order when I go out to a restaurant due to the usually awful ratio of onions and bell peppers to fish.  But, when you make it, you get to control things like that so it all works out.  I got the recipe from here.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb sole fish fillet cut into pieces and marinate with 1/2 tablespoon corn starch (I used Swai fillets)
• 2 tablespoon Lee Kam Kee black bean sauce
• 1 small onion (quartered)
• 1 small green bell pepper (cut into small pieces)
• 2 green onions chopped
• 5 slices fresh ginger
• 1/8 tsp fish sauce
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 1/8 tsp sesame oil
• 1/4 tbsp corn starch mixed with 3 tbsp water

Instructions:

• In a wok, add some cooking oil over medium heat
• Add the onion, bell pepper, and ginger and fry until cooked and aromatic
• Add the fish, fish sauce, sesame oil and black bean sauce and stir-fry until fish is cooked
• Add the corn starch to thicken the sauce and stir in the green onions
• Serve with rice
