Escabeche

Lent brought out dishes I will normally not cook. First, it's new to my kids. Second, I haven't made it, ever. 

My mom cooks escabeche when we were kids so we'll eat seafood, at least in my case, eat a fish, you know, balance diet and all. I actually love this dish, I can enjoy the taste of fish with the gingery, sweet and sour sauce.

Tip 1: Choose meaty fish so you can enjoy this dish so much better
Tip 2: It's up to you whether you want a whole fish or use fish steaks
Tip 3: Make sure your batonnets are of the same size so they cook evenly

Ingredients:
500 grams king fish steak
4 teaspoons salt
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 inches ginger, sliced into batonnets
1/2 red capsicum, deseeded and cut into batonnets
1/2 stick celery, cut into batonnets
1/2 small carrot, cut into batonnets
2 spring onions, julienne
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Serves 4

Procedures:
Scrub the fish with coarse salt to clean the steaks. Rinse well and sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of salt all over the fish and set aside.

Whisk the vinegar, water, sugar and the remaining salt in a small glass bowl until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Set aside.

Heat the oil in a skillet and stir fry the garlic until golden brown. Add onion and stir fry until translucent. Add the ginger and vinegar mixture then bring to a boil.

Add the capsicum, celery, carrot and spring onions. Mix well.

Dissolve cornstarch in 2 tablespoons cold water then add to the mixture in the skillet. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens.

Transfer the fish to a serving platter and spoon the cooked veggies and sauce over it.

Serve hot with plain or fried rice and an extra bowl of sauce.

Happy Eating!

    I'm No Chef but I love food like it's no one's business.

    I didn't know anything about cooking... frying an egg used to be a nightmare.. until I was forced to learn more... I had my first born... that's when my gastronomic journey started...

    Join me in my food quest.
    Laugh at my embarrassing moments.
    Share my triumphs.

    And if you're brave enough ... cook with me (ooooh scary!), virtually that is, and have the most enjoyable time!

    Welcome aboard
    fellow foodies!
