My family loves yellow bean sauce and recently I am able to get the brand that my mother has been using since I was a child. I only remember her using this brand and Yeo’s brand and not any other. She also always used the whole beans and she insisted that it is not actually hard work to roughly chopped the beans and they taste much better.
Now that I am all grown up I have decided there is logic in what she said and so I followed suit since. Today I cooked cod cheeks with yellow beans sauce as both the hubby and daughter are a big fans of fish without bones.
As usual I always said my recipe is a guide so make the dish your own with my TIPs. Enjoy.
TIP – When cooking fish and seafood always incorporate ginger, in slices if you don’t like to eat ginger, so you can easily remove them; julienned and fried crispy if you like to eat them like we do.
TIP – Bring the cleaned cod cheeks out from fridge to room temperature before cooking. Do not overcooked.
TIP – Please add a pinch of sugar to balance the taste.
TIP – Add the red chillies at the last minute, the spring onions and served topped with the earlier fried ginger, shallots, garlic slices and coriander.
TIP – After you added in your cod cheeks, at high heat your cook should be just about 5 minutes to dishing up.
