Ingredients :
. 1kg of Lala or any kind of clams
. 2 packs of basil
. chili padi - 5 to 7 pcs (put more if you like sizzling hot)
. one whole garlic
. one whole onion
. some ginger
. cut spring onions for garnishing or cook towards the end
. salt
. soy sauce
. oyster sauce
. cooking wine
. white pepper
. water
. oil

Add- on : Western pasta or any noodles or glass noodles

My kids love to eat lala. Lala always said WHY COOK ME, WHY EAT ME.. cute kan! She even told me : " Mama I am so famous, lala food, Lalamove, Lalapot, Lala this and that everywhere!" Me replied : ".............True" Hahaha Have a great evening all.

Look to the bright side, there is always a way out. Stay positive and be kind.

Yong Tau Fu 酿豆腐 is a well known dish in the Hakka cuisine. It is a unique Chinese dish that is made of pork(originally), mackerel fish, tofu, and a variety of soy products and vegetables. Today, I am going to show you how to make Mel's style Yong Tau Fu and the various ways to use the stuffing/paste.

Because Max doesnt like fish, I am preparing the chicken version for him. It is not normal at all, but it works. We have also made brown rice Chee Cheong Fun and bean sauce to go with them.

As a child, growing up seeing my Poh Poh heating the chop board so hard with the fish paste, I was curious what she was doing. Luckily I still remember how she did it. I tried some years ago and started to add ingredients to make them more interesting.

Ingredients for the stuffing/fish paste:
. 1 mackerel fish with head and tail
. 1 kg Minced Chicken (if you plan to stuff the fish and make fishless YTF)
. chopped water chestnuts
. chopped onion
. shredded carrots
. chopped spring onions
. mashed garlic
. mashed ginger
. chopped coriander
. chopped shiitake mushroom
. oyster sauce
. soy sauce
. white pepper
. sesame oil
. salt
. 1 strip of salted fish in oil

For the vegetable and tofu for stuffing, you can get any kind of fried tofu, beancurd skin, hard tofu, bell pepper, big red and green chilis, lady fingers, eggplants, normal size bittergourd (I didnt have it then), mushrooms and any possible vegetable that can hold the stuffing to try out.

You can actually get the black bean sweet sauce from the market or just make your own.

Simplest Recipe Ingredients:
. 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
. 2 tbsp oyster sauce
. a bit of hot water
- Mix them all up and serve.

Once you stuffed the vegetables and tofu, you can pan-fry them like I did or steam them and then fry in pan again. Either way works.

Enjoy.

Lai Yee's Kitchen - Spicy Taucu/Fermented Soybean Paste Steamed Fish 酱蒸鱼

I love my food with gravy. When you have fresh fish, steaming them with sauce is the best way to enjoy. Steamed fish are healthy, easy to prepare and extremely delicious. It is even more so when paired with a simple fermented bean paste sauce. You can use this recipe to steam other types of fish like cod, grouper, red snapper, trout or bream and Nile Tilapia. Simple, fast and super comfort!

Ingredients :
- 1.5kgs snapper
- 2 tbsp oil
- 2" ginger or more(sliced)
- 2 medium size red onions
- 2 whole garlic
- 8 cut chili padi
- 4 stalks coriander with roots
- 5 tbsp taucu/fermented soy bean paste
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tbsp white pepper
- 2 tbsp cooking rice wine (optional)
- 2 big lime juice or 3 tbsp juice(I have added the lime pulp too)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- cut spring onions for garnishing

If your fish is not big or thick, you need just 8 mins of steaming with the fire stove. If you are cooking with an induction stove like mine, then you need 15 mins of steaming. If you have a big fish, then you will need slightly longer BUT not too long. Make sure you boil the water in the wok before you put the fish to steam.

You can also fry the sauce ingredients in a wok first with oil. Steam the fish without any sauce, once the fish is ready then pour the fried sauce over. This way is equally delicious. Try it! I love 酱蒸鱼 Spicy taucu steamed fish!

We miss Penang food. So today we will bring you to Pulau Penang. But because Max doesn't eat fish and Dirk is on a vegan diet, so vegetarian then!

You will need to prepare mushroom broth as the base. I didnt have mushrooms, so I did not show u in the video. You can grind the mushroom to add thickness to the soup! Also I had too little chili in the soup. Be Brave, add more!

. 4 cloves garlic
. 1 small piece turmeric around 3cm size
. 1 small piece of fresh peeled galangal (or ginger) 4 to 5cm size
. 1 tablespoon vegan shrimp paste (or miso)

- Blend all that into a paste, then saute in hot oil for 8 to 10mins -

For The BROTH :
. 6 to 7 cups of water or Mushroom broth
. around 6 pieces of Asam Keping or tamarind paste 3 tbsp. brown sugar
.  salt for tasting
. 1 tbsp soy sauce

- Boil all together with the sauteed paste -

For Garnishing:
. Daun kesum leaves/ asam leaves
. Fresh mint. thin sliced ginger flower and lemon grass
