It’s important to keep some ingredients in the freezer/fridge/pantry for days when you just don’t have fresh vegetable, prepackaged bamboo shoots comes in handy and saves the day! 15-20 large shrimp (peeled) 1 prepackaged bamboo shoot 1 T ginger (minced) 1 T garlic (minced) 1 T rice wine 1 t sesame oil a dash of…

All Seafood dishes will go here
Asian broiled tilapia
This is definitely one of those easy, healthy and delicious dishes that I would make again and again. The lovely green vegetable is from my Mama’s organic garden, the hot fish wilted the leaves a bit, and the sauce made a lovely salad dressing for it! 1/4 cup soy sauce 2 tablespoons sugar 3 large garlic cloves, minced (about…
Fried fish with blackbean sauce
I fried 2 fish on Monday, totally over estimated my family’s hunger. So today I decided to recycle the left over friend whole fish, instead of dipping it in fish sauce, decided black bean sauce on top would go well with the dish. 1 tablespoon of oil 1 onion 1.5 tablespoon of black bean garlic…
Seared Scallops & Asian Sauce
Mmmmmm, this was a real good dish, note to self, have to buy the largest scallops from now on, since they shrink at least 50% in size while cooking. I added the Japanese fishcakes (the pink stuff) and fried rice squares underneath to absorb sauce dripping. Real good combination! 20 sea scallops (1 1/2 oz…
Stuffed Tofu
Wanted to try a new dish tonight, haven’t had the chance to go grocery shop for the week, but had soft tofu and frozen shrimps laying around, so this recipe seemed like a good idea. I felt like the sauce didn’t add to the dish, maybe because it turned out lumpy, also next time I…
Ginger Glazed Mahi Mahi
Looks like we are getting a lot of seafood on one night! I saw this beautiful fillet of Mahi Mahi at the market and had to purchase it, you’d be surprised I’ve actually never cooked Mahi before, this dish turned out well, but I would recommend saving some glaze for dipping, I poured the whole…
Viet Salt & Pepper Shrimp
Looks like I only cooked 10 shrimps here, but this is what’s left after dinner. The original photo was accidentally deleted on my iPhone, so i tried salvage the dish by gathering whatever was left over on the plate. Well you guys get the idea… Hubby and little girl absolutely LOVED this! Fairly simple to…
Sweet Black Pepper Fish
This is a tried and true dish, I’ve cooked it about 10 times and the family always eat it up. Very low in calories and fat, but tons of flavor! Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 fillet and 2 tablespoons sauce) Ingredients 1/2 cup water, divided 3 tablespoons sugar 2 1/2 tablespoons Thai fish sauce…
Greek Seafood Soup
It’s very cold today at Texas, so I thought doing a nice bowl of hot soup for dinner would be a good idea. Since there are some large scallops, shrimp and clams in the freezer, I’ve decided to try out this dish my husband loves to order whenever we eat at Greek restaurants. Too bad…
Clay Pot Fish
This is one of hubby’s favorite dish, he prefers cat fish because that’s what he grew up with, I am not accustom to the taste of cat fish, so here we are using bass instead. I’ve used red fish before but there were too much bones to pick at, seems like bass is a good…
Fried Fish with Spicy Fish Sauce
Dinner was a total success tonight, it was so successful that I do not have left over for tomorrow’s lunch. No complains here, it’s always good when a carefully cooked meal is being enjoyed by loved ones, now I know why my Mama always seen so happy whenever we empty her table at family gatherings!…
Shrimp with Snow Peas
Holy cow, I finally figured out how to make a shrimp dish properly like the higher end Chinese restaurants! The taste of this dish was so darn good I am still salivating thinking about it… Apparently a little preparation ahead (marination) is the key for plump and unfishy shrimp. 2/3 lb. fresh shrimp MARINADE: 1…
