Chili Fish

For Allison

Cut the fish (I used Basa, you can use any white-fleshed, mild-tasting fish) into bite sized pieces, then marinate it in salt, chili flakes, 1 beaten egg and some flour (whisk them together). Rest for 15-20 mins 

Heat oil in a deep pan, deep fry then drain them on paper towels. 

In a wok, add bell peppers (better if you use different colors, I prefer red and yellow) and onions, sauté on high while tossing the wok. Add a dab of soy sauce and chili vinegar. 

Add the fried fish pieces, toss and cook till the sauce is coated. Add fresh grated or chopped ginger and green chilies for extra heat. 

Chili shiitake noodles

Carrots from @farmfreshtoyou

Green onions from garden and voila !


Method:

1.  Bring a sauce pan of water to boil. Boil noodles, strain.
2. While the noodles are cooking, slice shiitake mushroom and the carrots. Dice some onions and green onions
3. Sauté the mushrooms in oil. Add the carrots. Add red chili flakes, dark soy sauce and chili vinegar.
4. Add the noodles. Mix. If you have noodle powder, add it while stirring continuously for uniform coating. Add the green onions. Do not overcook.
5. Serve piping hot. With coffee.
