no bones about it

Very seldom do I cook fish at home, not that I don't like fish - I do, but my brother (who complains a lot about my cooking) finds eating fish risky and a lot of work, what with the business of picking off all those small fish bones.

So I am limited to using fillets and am glad I found one recipe that I tweaked to make a version of:


Saucy Fish Fillet
Ingredients:
- half kilo fish fillets
- 1 medium red bell pepper cut into cubes
- 1 medium green bell pepper cut into cubes
- half a cup broccoli florets
- salt
- pepper
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce

How to:
- cut the fillets into one inch squares, season with salt and pepper then dredge with flour
- pan fry till golden brown, drain on paper towels as set aside
- heat wok with little oil and stir- fry onion and garlic until aromatic, add the veggies.
- add the 3 sauces with half a cup of water, stir fry until veggies are crisp tender, mix in the fish fillets and toss until coated with sauce

Best served with steamed white rice and it is somehow better eaten in a bowl with the use of chopsticks - very Chinese take-out.

experiment success!!!
