Garlic Pork And Ginger Fish

Delicious garlic pork and ginger fish

My family loves to eat fish, especially pomfret and salmon. The flesh of pomfret is very tender and lovely. It’s good whichever way you cook it. Very often I cooked it in sweet and sour sauce, curry or just sprinkle with some salt and spices and shallow fry it. But this time I thought I’ll try out something different. I still have some delicious garlic pork which I made the other day that I used to cook the baby leeks (click here for recipe). I think it would add great flavour to this dish together with the fried ginger strips. It did! It turned out really good. My family loved it very much. Here’s how I did it.

Delicious Sour Plum Sauce Chicken

I have been thinking of my mother-in-law’s sour plum duck lately. Awww…that was really delicious. There was such a balance of flavour and taste that would make you think of it many days after. Each time when we go back for holidays to visit her, she would definitely cook that for me. She’s such a sweet, awesome mother-in-law.

Spicy And Creamy Fried Chicken is another dish that my family loves. You will notice that I hardly use cream and cheese in my cooking. In fact I seldom buy them unless I need it for baking. But then most of my cakes do not need cream or cheese either. So cream and cheese are rare commodities in my house.

Delicious fried baby leeks with crisp garlic pork

I love baby leeks. They are so tender and they have a natural sweetness of their own. I love the dark green colour which looks very healthy to the body. This is one dish that my family loves. My greatest expression of love to my family is to cook healthy meals. It’s of course never easy. I want my family to eat more vegetables and fruits and less meat. Sometimes it’s hard to keep the balance. I find that an occasional treat does the trick. In that way, everyone doesn’t feel deprived.

Sushi

Oriental food, is always very popular everywhere. But sometimes the thought of preparing it can be quite daunting. I used to go through years of anxiety and stress each time when I invited friends over for a meal. Thankfully I have got over with that after all the years of hard work in learning how to cook.
