Home-Cooking: Steamed Redspot Emperor (Teochew Style) and More...

My boi and I have prepared a splendid home cooked dinner tonight! *proud* We started cooking right after we came back from groceries. I must say that the process was really hectic since I not only had to capture behind-the-scenes photos (I did it for you guys k? Ahem) but also cooking and helping out my boi at the same time. Anyway, everything was worth it when we can eventually sit down and taste the dishes we prepared with our own hands. Thumbs up to both of us!!!

Step 1: Wash and dry the fish, then slice the ingredients needed into small chunks and place them decently around the plate. For this recipe, we made use of ginger, tomato, dried plums, shallot root, pickled mustard, chillies, and a tablespoon of soy sauce and squid / fish oil for flavoring. 

Step 2: Steam the fish with hot boiling water. Remember to put on the lid though!

Step 3: Decorate the dish with some greens (shallot / coriander or both like I did here).
Additionally, you may add some fried garlic minces and cooking oil before / after the greens.

Step 4: Ready and serve!!!

The fish tasted great and very rich in natural flavors. Slurrrp~

Let's see what else have I done in the kitchen tonight... stir-frying pork mince I was...

They were used for my veggie dish, Stir Fried Taiwanese Pak Choy with Minced Pork.

Finally, a big pot of  Lotus Root Soup which is absolutely essential for a home-cook dinner!
