Fried Black Promfet with taucho
Ingredients:
- 1 Black Promfet (Medium side)
- 1 Knob ginger ( cut into thin strips )
- 1 clove Garlic ( minced )
- 1 tablespoon taucho ( good quality )
- Red chilly and green onion for garnishing
Method:
- Clean the black Promfet. Then make 2 slices in the middle, season with some salt. Deep fry the black Promfet in a pan or wok until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
- Using the same pan or wok fry the ginger strips until golden brown and crispy. Remove half from oil and set aside.
- Then, add the garlic to sauté until fragrant. Next add the taucho and stir fry for about 1 minute. Be careful not to over fry or the taucho will become bitter.
- Quickly add about 1 cup of water into the fried mixture. Bring to a boil.
- Add the sugar, mix well and put the fried Promfet into the sauce for a short simmer.
- Then dish up the fish together with the sauce on to a serving plate.
- Garnish with the remaining fried ginger strips, red chilly and green onion.
- Serve warm.
Tips for frying the fish:
- Heat up oil. Fry the fish under medium low heat. Just fry it slowly. Then you will have nice and crispy fish skin outside and soft fish meat inside.
Unlike normal Promfet that's best steamed, black Promfet has harsher and leaner meat that's less flavourful, so a stronger tasting taucho sauce makes a good compliment to this dish.
Simple ingredients also can create nice dish!
Best served as one of main entre with boiled or steamed rice or even piping hot porridge for a delightful meal.
So do enjoy!
