Chinese New Year Recipes
Bet your family will love this Fried Pomfrets In Thai Sauce dish for dinner. Thai chilli sauce is used, instead of the usual tomato sauce. I like Thai sauce as it is sweet and refreshingly sour. You can add a dash of lime juice for a more tangy flavour.
Most of the Chinese fish recipes in Chinese New Year recipes could be either steamed or fried. For fried versions, the preparation of the sauce is most important. Sauce that is too watery or too bland will spoil the entire dish. And lastly, as in most Chinese food recipes that have seafood, buy fish fresh from the market. Ensure that the fish does not have an odour and that the eyes are clear and gills are bright red.
Ingredients 4 Small Pomfrets; cleaned
2 Medium Onions; sliced
1 inch Ginger; slivered
3 cloves Garlic; nibbed
2 Small Tomatoes; slightly ripe; sliced
6 tbsp Thai Chilli Sauce
Salt & Pepper; to taste
