Chilean Sea Bass

-
My mother made this at my graduation party and it was a HUGE hit! Everyone loved how tender and moist it was. This recipe can be recreated with any white fish but chilean sea bass is the best because it's so buttery and flaky. Ingredients: - chilean sea bass - red onion - enoki mushrooms - spinach - butter - garlic - lemon Dry rub: Mix the following together in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. Lightly dry rub chilean sea bass with mixture. - salt - pepper - sugar - garlic powder Garlic Butter: 1. In a skillet, lightly brown together minced garlic and butter. You may want to cook the garlic in vegetable oil first and then dump out the vegetable oil. Add the butter (may want to separate this step b/c butter burns quickly). 1. Thinly slice 1 red onion and lemon. 2. In a foil sheet, place 1-2 slices of red onion, 1 slice of lemon, and some enoki mushroom. 3. Place chilean sea bass on top of the vegetable medley. 4. Place a small spoon (1 teaspoon?) of garlic butter onto chile...

Rau Muong Xao Toi (Stir-fried Water Spinach and Garlic)

There are a couple variations of this recipe. Rau muong (water spinach) is a simple vegetable dish that goes great with fried fish or meat. In Vietnam, this was once a staple vegetable of the poor. Now, it's present in many Vietnamese cuisines as a garnish, side dish, or main ingredient. No matter how you decide to stir fry your water spinach, you must start with blanching the rau muong. Food is blanched to soften, or to party or fully cook it, or to remove a strong taste. Blanching is the process in which you plunge food (can be done with fruit, veggies, pasta) into boiling water and then remove after a brief interval. Food is then submerged in iced water or washed under cold water. Placing it under cold water effectively haltens the cooking process. Ingredients: 1 big bunch of water spinach 2-3 cloves of garlic Oil Red bird's eye chili pepper (optional) sugar bot nem ga fish sauce (variation 1) maggi seasoning (variation 2) Blanching the water spinach 1. ...

Ca Chim Den Kho (Black Pomfret Fish Sauteed in Sugar and Chili)

Okay okay, I know what you're thinking. Isn't this just like another recipe I've posted? Well, yes and no. Vietnamese people LOVE caramel sauce, which is a heated mixture between vegetable oil and sugar. What makes this dish different is the use of thai serrano chili. It gives this dish a spice that takes the flavor in a slightly different direction. It also uses a different type of fish - black pomfret (in my opinion) tastes sweeter and less fishy than tilapia. Try it :) My boyfriend suggested that I should dress up the final versions of this pictures... well the problem is - I cook but I don't like to eat my own food. So, dressing up the food requires serving it onto a plate for someone to eat. Maybe one day I'll make that extra effort and eat it - until then, you'll see all the food I make still in their pots and pans :) Ingredients: 2 Ca Chim Den Kho chopped (Black Pomfret Fish) Sugar Bot Nem Ga (chicken broth) Nuoc mam Salt Tamarand (me) Caramel...
