Fish and Bok Choy with Oyster Sauce Stirfry

Fish and Bok Choy with Oyster Sauce Stirfry. One of the quickest method of cooking is stirfry, of course it is a Chinese cooking method using a wok with high heat, I would not elaborate any further instead I would like to share another stirfry dish I made using white fish fillet. My fish and bok choy with oyster sauce stirfry is made up of red snapper fillet and Chinese bok choy vegetable stirfried with oyster sauce. The recipe is somewhat similar to my Beef with Bok Choy in OysterSauce. This is the first time I cooked this stirfry combination and I would say it is as yummy as it could be. The fresh fish and a good oyster sauce made the difference. You may try it with other white fish as long as it is fresh or perhaps harvested fresh like those frozen cream dory fish fillet. For the vegetables the local pechay may be used although it may be a bit bitter. I marinated the fish with some lemon maybe kalamansi would have been better, and some soy sauce and cornstartch. Here is the recipe of my Fish and Bok Choy with Oyster Sauce Stirfry.


Ingredients:

 300g white fish fillet, cut into strips
1 bunch baby bok choy, cut into serving pieces, stalk thinly sliced
1 medium size onion, chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 thumb size ginger, peeled, cut into thin strips
2-3 stalks leeks, cut diagonally
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup oyster sauce
1/4 cup cornstarch
juice from 1/2 lemon
salt and pepper
sesame oil
cooking oil


Cooking procedure:

Marinate fish in lemon juice, soy sauce and cornstarch for 5 to 10 minutes. In a wok, heat generous amount of cooking oil and stir fry garlic and ginger for a minute or until fragrant. Add in onion and stir fry for another half a minute. Remove stirfried aromatics from the pan and keep aside. Using the same pan stirfry fish in batches for 3 to 5 minutes until it start to sizzle and seared, remove from wok and keep aside. Using the same wok return the stirfried aromatics and add in the bok choy stalks and stir cook for 1 to 2 minutes then add in the leafy part of bok choy and stir cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Now add in the stirfried fish, the oyster sauce and the leeks, stir cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Correct saltines if require and season with pepper powder. Drizzle with a few drops of sesame oil. Serve hot.

Champeni of Batangas . Champeni or champene, sampeni or sampene , whats in a name, the important is, this goat or beef innards dish is a must try when you are in Batangas . I could not really confirm the common name of this delectable dish. Based on people that I have met and places and that I have visited in Batangas , the pronunciation varies.

Turbo Crispy Pata

Turbo Crispy Pata . “Turbo” in Pinoy cooking refers to a dish cooked in turbo broiler , the most common is turbo chicken . On this post I want to share how to turbo cook crispy pata . This post is actually overdue, several readers have been asking if I had tried to cook crispy pata using the turbo broiler on my first crispy pata recipe a few years back. Click this link Crispy Pata , to see that post. If you are interested there is also a bonelsee version in the archives, click the link Boneless Crispy Pata to see that post. Ok back to my Turbo Crispy Pata , the idea of cooking crispy pata using the turbo broiler is to drain out or at least reduce the fats. With turbo crispy pata we have a healthier version . However the turbo crispy pata would not have the usual crisp skin with moist and succulent meat of a traditionally deep fried crispy pata . At least it is easier to cook, you won’t be dealing with splashes of hot oil. Remember this was my first attempt, th...
