Steamed Fish Fillet with Garlic Sauce

Steamed Fish Fillet with Garlic Sauce



Hi! As promised, I may post new recipes here often than usual. God had given me so much time to do things that makes me simply happy :)

Today, I am sharing with you my newly learned and tried Chinese cuisine as requested by my kids. They just found it from my newly received free cookbooks named Healthy Home Cooking with Maggi; while viewing each of its pages, later they agreed to dare me to prepare this one :) 

To give a try, I did it this morning, so excited in the start but feeling so nervous while doing it longer; crossing out my fingers that my kids will like it once served during meal time.



Ingredients:
1 kg white fish fillet, cut into half ( I used Cream Dory Fish available at Waltermart)
1/2 tsp iodized salt
1 pack small sized Maggi Magic Sarap
ground pepper
2 tsp Cornstarch
6 gloves garlic, minced and toasted for garnish
1 tsp sesame oil
1 pc red or green bell pepper, cut into strip (optional)



Cooking Procedure:

Garlic Sauce:
  1. In a bowl, mix the following ingredients then set aside
  • 5 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp Maggi Magic Sarap
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 2 tsp Knorr Original Seasoning
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp butter

Fish Fillet:
  1. In a plate, mix cornstarch, maggi magic sarap, salt and pepper.
  2. Coat each piece of cut white fish
  3. Add Knorr Seasoning on top
  4. Place plate into a steaming dish
  5. Top with prepared garlic sauce and sliced bell pepper
  6. Steam for 20-30 minutes until done
  7. Top with toasted garlic and drizzle with sesame oil before serving
  8. Eat well and enjoy :)


When I am about to serve it, my youngest Iya was so excited to taste it. So glad, they both like it. For the one I cooked, since my kids hate spicy foods, I prefer not to include bell pepper. 

Its taste was really good, seems like I was eating at a Chinese Restaurant. So glad I did it. 
Try it and share here the results of your cooking experiments :)

Thanks again for viewing and may you keep on coming back :)
God bless us all, take care always :)

Pork Spareribs Adobo Delight

Pork Spareribs Adobo Delight


 

Hi! It's nice to be back after a long long time :) I honestly feels so happy to be back :)
Maybe this time, I can have more time to post more recipes here :), hope so...

Lately, my life was just like a roller coaster :( 
Space may not be enough to tell the whole story why, but I am moving forward one at a time, thinking what will be my next step to face tomorrow :).

While I'm at home, I am playing the role of a full time Mother to my two (2) "super kulit" girls. Then few hours ago before dinner time comes, they both requested me to cook some food to be serve later once their Papa arrived at home from work. 


When I asked them what they want, they both replied "Mama, puede po Adobong Spareribs, for sure madami po kami makakain". I really felt the excitement on their face and so I just replied them with a smile.


While cooking, I realized how time really runs so fast, I might have few hours to spent with them in the past since I am working and used to manage My Little Angels Online Shop after work. 


But the coming days might be different from what we used to do. God permits us to be together all day long. An opportunity to guide them in doing housing chores, watching television while exchanging views and sharing stories of anything under the sun. I want to enjoy each moment with them while they both at summer vacation. 




Ingredients:

1 kg pork spareribs and/or liempo
5 cloves of garlic pounded 
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup vinegar
1 tsp ground pepper 
2 tbsp Mama Sita's barbecue marinade
1 sachet Maggi Magic Sarap
2 tbsp cooking oil 
2 tbsp butter
2 pieces hard-boiled eggs

Cooking Procedure:

  1. In a container, combine pork, garlic, vinegar, ground pepper, maggi magic sarap and soy sauce.
  2. Marinade for at least 1-2 hours.
  3. In a pan, transfer the marinated pork, cook for few minutes at medium heat.
  4. Let it simmer, remove all dark bubbles on top.
  5. Add cooking oil and water. 
  6. Let it simmer, stir once in a while until becomes medium cook.
  7. Add barbecue marinade and butter then stir to make it saucy adobo.
  8. When done, move out pan from heat.
  9. Serve with hard boiled egg on side and hot plain/fried rice. 
  10. Share and enjoy!


During our meal time, I thanked God for the foods present at our table and how my kids appreciated them. Much more than that, I thanked Him for my kids who keeps on cheering me up, when everything seems so wrong and helpless.

For my kids, thank you so much for making me feel perfect despite my imperfection; 
loving me completely even on times that I feel empty;
In my heart, both of you will always be My Little Angels forever :)

In times, I might felt lost and had no purpose at all in life.
Then later realized, I have so much more to do, so much more to share to others and so much more to learn from others who will comes on my way :)
I just need to continue DREAM BIG & WORK HARD to make them all possible.

So from this day onward, I promise to challenge myself for all positive opportunities ahead rather than to feel pity about time spent for yester-years.


Thanks a lot for viewing and reading :)

May you keep on coming back for future post, hehehe...
God bless us all always, take care :)
