Claypot fish...

What better dish to cook when you're feeling tired on a cold day?

Ka's Claypot Fish

Ingredients:
2 medium slices mackerel (or any other fish)
1 bunch french beans - cut into pieces
half cauliflower - cut into small florets
1 medium carrot - sliced
1 kailan stalk - peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks
1 knob ginger - sliced thinly
200g roasted pork - or any other roasted meat (this dish helps use up leftover meat...) - sliced
light soya sauce and pepper - to taste

Coating: 4 tbsp plain flour + 1 tbsp curry powder

thickener: corn starch + water

Method:
[1] Clean the fish slices; sprinkle with salt and pepper; then coat with the coating. Deep-fry on medium-high heat for about 2 min each side; need not be thoroughly cooked as it'll return to the pot later.

[2] Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a claypot on medium. Fry the ginger till fragrant, then add roast meat and carrots. Place the lid on and cook about 2-3 minutes.


[3] Open the cover and throw in the remaining vegetables.

[4] Add half cup water and let the pot come to a boil. Season with light soya sauce and pepper. Cover and cook another 5 minutes. Remove cover and add fish in. Stir a bit so the fish is at the bottom of the pot; Cover and cook another 3 minutes. Remove cover and add thickener - take note that you need to keep stirring when you add it; else you will have a chunk of goo...


[5] Once done, remove from heat and serve hot with fluffy white rice. Yummy!
