4 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| ½ | pounds | Fish filets (soft flesh fish like sole) |
| ½ | cup | Dry sherry |
| 1 | teaspoon | Sugar |
| ½ | teaspoon | Thin soy sauce |
| ½ | teaspoon | Fresh ginger, minced |
| 1 | tablespoon | Cloud Ear black fungus (or water chestnuts) |
| ⅔ | cup | Chicken stock |
| ½ | teaspoon | Szechwan Soybean Paste |
| 1 | teaspoon | Cornstarch paste (approx) |
| ½ | teaspoon | Sesame oil |
Directions
Cook this dish quickly so fish will be flaky and tender.
Preparation: Wash and soak Cloud Ear fungus for about 30 minutes or until soft; drain. Slice fish filets into 2" squares; marinate in sherry, sugar and soy sauce for 15 minutes. Mix stock and soybean paste; add in half the marinade when fish is removed.
Cooking: Heat wok to high. Add stock mixture; when it comes to slow boil, add ginger and Cloud Ear fungus; cook fungus for about 1 minute. Dribble in cornstarch paste; keep stirring as you do; sauce should attain a medium consistency. Allow sauce to cook for another minute. Reduce heat to medium, then introduce fish pieces. Poach for about 1 minute or until flaky and milky white. Avoid overcooking.
Stir in sesame oil. Serve.
Variation: Use thinly sliced water chestnuts in place of Cloud Ear black fungus; garnish with minced green onion.
