ASIAN RAINBOW TROUT WITH WILTED ASIAN SLAW AND ASIAN RICE TIMBALES

Steps:

• Drizzle the marinade on the trout fillets to lightly coat each side. In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt and pepper. Lightly dust the fillets in the flour mixture until both sides are evenly coated. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Dip the fillets in the egg mixture, the dredge the fillets in the bread crumbs.
• In a large, non-stick skillet, melt butter and oil over medium-high heat. Cook the fillets for approximately 2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
• In a large, non-stick grill pan, sear 4 of the pineapple slices over medium heat until grill marks form on each side. Reserve the juice from the can of pineapple for the dipping sauce.
• Combine the first 6 ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl. Heat a large saute pan over medium heat and place the slaw mixture into the pan. Toss the slaw until the cabbage begins to slightly wilt. Remove the slaw from the heat and season, to taste, with lime juice, soy sauce, and salt and pepper.
• Prepare the rice according to package directions, using chicken stock in lieu of water. Add the remaining ingredients except for the vegetable oil to the rice and combine well. Coat the inside of a dry 1-cup measuring cup with vegetable oil. Pack the rice mixture tightly into the cup and turn it out onto a plate. Re-oil the cup as necessary for additional mounds.
• Combine the cilantro and oil in a blender until a paste forms. Add the remaining ingredients to the cilantro paste and blend well. Pour the sauce into the 4 hollowed lime cups.

BRAISED TROUT IN CHILLI BEAN SAUCE (DOU BAN YU)

Steps:

• Make three even, diagonal cuts into the thickest part of each side of the fish, to allow the sauce to penetrate. Rub it inside and out with a little salt, then rub the Shaoxing wine into its belly cavity. Set aside for 10-15 minutes, then drain off any liquid and pat it dry. Rub a little more salt into the skin on both sides (to prevent sticking).
• Add the 1/2 cup (100ml) oil to a seasoned wok over a high flame. When it is hot, slide in the fish and fry on both sides until it is a little golden (it won't be cooked through). You need to turn the fish carefully and tilt it so the oil comes into contact with all the skin. Pour off the oil into a heatproof container and slide the fish on to a plate.
• Clean the wok if necessary, then reheat it over a high flame. Add the 2-3 tbsp oil and reduce the heat to medium. Add the chilli bean paste and stir-fry until the oil is red and smells delicious. Add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry until you can smell them. Pour in the stock and bring to a boil. Slide in the fish and cook for five minutes or so, seasoning with soy sauce to taste. Keep spooning the sauce over the fish and tipping the wok so the whole fish is cooked. (If you are using a larger fish, turn it halfway.) Using a wok scoop and fish slice, carefully lift the fish from the sauce and lay it on a serving dish.
• Increase the heat, stir the potato flour mixture and add just enough to thicken the sauce to a rich, clingy consistency (do this in stages to avoid over-thickening). Stir in the spring onion, then switch off the heat. Stir in the sesame oil and ladle the sauce over the waiting fish.
