🎉PURCHASE THE FRIED DACE - 🔪 BROWSE MY PRODUCTS - 🥢 PRINTABLE RECIPE - ❤️ SUPPORT THE CHANNEL - 1. 豆豉鲮鱼烧茄子 (Stir Fry Eggplant with Fried Dace) The first recipe is Stir Fry Eggplant with Fried Dace, which is my favorite because eggplant is absorbing. Once it soaks up the goodness from the fish, it tastes better than meat. Ingredients 400g / 14 oz eggplant / 1 tsp salt to rub the eggplants 24g / 1 red chili pepper 24g / 1 green chili pepper 184g / 1 can of fried dace with salted black beans (Amazon Link - ) 34g / 2.5 Tbsps of oil 9g / 1 Tbsp of minced garlic / ½ Tbsp of minced ginger 20g / 1 scallion, diced / 2 tsps of fish sauce (Amazon Link - ) 2. 豆豉鲮鱼炒饭 (Fried Rice with Fried Dace) I am sure all of you have had experiences where sometimes you just suddenly felt super hungry at midnight and craved food, especially for carbs. I am going to show you how to use this fried dace to make an impromptu fried rice. The total preparation and cooking time is less than 10 minutes, and it is really fulfilling and delicious. If you don’t have leftover rice in the fridge, you can use this recipe but cook it with noodles. Ingredients / 1.5 Tbsps of cooking oil 2 large size eggs 18g / 2 Tbsps of minced garlic 1.5 cups of frozen mixed vegetables 184g / 1 can of fried dace (Amazon Link - ) 340g / 2.5 cups of leftover rice 17g / 1 Tbsp of fish sauce (Amazon Link - ) / 1 tsp of dark soy sauce (Amazon Link - ) 15g / 3 Tbsp of diced scallion 6g / 2 tsps of toasted sesame seeds (Amazon Link - ) 3. 豆豉鲮鱼炒油麦菜 (Stir Fry Lettuce with Fried Dace) The third recipe is a super popular Cantonese dish - 豆豉鲮鱼炒油麦菜. Growing up in Guangdong, whenever my mom picked up this oval can in the store, I immediately knew she would grab some you mai cai (油麦菜) next; that is how classic it is. You mai cai is like the Chinese variant of romaine lettuce. The leaves are longer and narrower. The taste is sweet and has a subtle bitterness. If you can’t find it, don’t worry; just use regular romaine lettuce as a replacement. Ingredients / 1.5 Tbsps of minced garlic 400g / 14oz of lettuce / 1.5 Tbsps of oil to blanch the lettuce 184g / 1 can of fried dace (Amazon Link - ) 18g / 1 Tbsp of oyster sauce (Amazon Link - ) 4. 豆豉鲮鱼炸鱼丸 (Fried Fish Meatballs with Fried Dace) The last recipe is fried fish meatballs. For those of you who don’t know about fish meatballs, they are popular items that we will put in noodle soup, hk curry, and hot pot. If you have been following my show, you probably remember that in my previous BBQ spice seasoning video, I used a package of frozen mixed seafood meatballs. Yes, that is what we are making today, but it is flavored with fried dace. Ingredients 18g / 6 slices of ginger 12g / 4 cloves of garlic 20g / 1 scallion 80g / ⅓ cup of water / 3 Tbsps of tapioca starch (Amazon Link - ) 92g / ½ can of fried dace (Amazon Link - ) 400g / 140oz white fish fillet / ½ tsp of ground white pepper / 1.5 Tbsps of fish sauce (Amazon Link - ) 15g / 2.5 tsps of oyster sauce (Amazon Link - ) 30g / 1 egg white 440g / 2 cups of oil for deep frying
