I never thought it was so easy.

Since we all love Japanese food, especially grilled Salmon and Saba, now I learn to make this at home instead. Much cheaper this way.

A piece of salmon probably only cost me Rm15. How to do Teriyaki Salmon:

Ingredients

• 1 slice salmon, pat dried and rubbed with some salt
• Kikkoman Teriyaki Sauce (I dilute it with some drinking water)

Method

1. Pan fry salmon for about 1 minute on each side (or depends on the thickness of your fish)
2. Pour Kikkoman Teriyaki Sauce over the fish
3. Turn the fish on both side so that its equally coated
4. Remove fish quickly once the sauce reaches boiling point

*Tip: I used some Planta to oil my pan instead of oil. Reason is because with oil tends to burn the fish quicker.

Now you have a piece of nicely done fish to serve with a bowl of hot white rice. Want to know how I do this? You can even call me from any corner of the world by using the great rate with your prepaid cell phones.

Coming soon next will be the yummy Grilled Saba!

I am so eager to learn to cook more Nyonya dishes and Mich’s cooking blog Simple Dish Online is a good place to go to. However I do modify the recipes to suit what I have in my kitchen.

Instead of using the smaller fish for fish Temptra, I used Mackerel slice. Since I do not have lime at that time and I did not want to leave my sons with the maid at home who is playing in front of hubby’s new investment, his favourite tv stand, I had to use Lemon instead. Verdict, hmm…I still prefer plain fried fish with dash of rubbed salt and soy sauce.

Stir Fried Stingray with Bean Paste

Initially when  I got a piece of nice stingray (ikan pari) from the wet market, I thought of grilling (baking with my oven). Thanks to tips from Jesselyn, I decided to stir-fried and it really taste yummy!!

Recipe

• Stingray (not sure what’s the weight but it is about Rm8)
• ginger cut to strips
• dry cillies soaked (about 5 stalks)
• 2 tablespoon Taucu (bean paste)
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• salt and sugar to taste
• some water for the gravy

Method:

• Clean stingray and cut into pieces. Leave aside
• Heat up oil on wok and fry ginger strips till golden yellow
• Add in garlic, bean paste and dry chillies till fragant
• Add in fish cubes
• Once cook, add some water and seasoning

Verdict: I love the gravy! Even hubby thinks that this dish is really yummy.

Next round I shall try to steam with ingredients suggested by Jessie as following:

1. Rub some salt all over the stingray.
2. Steam them in a plate.
3. Prepare soya sauce + red chili + garlic + small onion + one lime.
4. optional put cincalok

When my SIL comes back from her ski vacation, I will try to cook this dish again with some other kind of fish she brings back.
