This has to be my favorite fish. Many fanciful names, but commonly know as Rabbit Fish or 白肚鱼to the older folks. During CNY, they conferred this as 发财鱼!
There are many way to prepare this fish, whether steamed, fried, boiled, or even cooked in mee sua soup!
For today, it's my all time favorite cooking style - in salted beans. Great for white porridge!
Ingredients:
- rabbit fish
- ginger shredded
- salted beans (I like this brand a lot and it's cheap too @ $1.70 - see below)
Steps:
1. Heat up some oil and toss in the ginger shreds when hot. Stir fry the ginger till aromatic.
2. Place in the rabbit fish neatly and let it cooked on its own for 2 mins. Using a long tong is very advisable. :)
3. Add in the salted beans and the sauce and let the fish remain cooked for about 1 min then flip the fish to the other side.
4. Abt 10 secs later, pour in boiling water and let the fish continue to boil within the broth. Volume of water depends on yourself. We like to use the gravy to drench over our porridge/rice so we usually do more gravy.
5. The fish is done when the fish eyeballs turned white.
6. Dish out, garnish and it's ready to serve.
Happy Huat-ing with your 发财鱼！
Happy mum
