BRAISED WHOLE FISH IN HOT-AND-SOUR SAUCE



Braised Whole Fish in Hot-and-Sour Sauce image

It doesn't take long, but this dish requires a fairly large pan. A long, narrow roasting pan will do in a pinch, especially if it's nonstick. If you have trouble getting the fish to fit into your pan, by all means cut off its head and tail. Or try making this with smaller fish, in the 2- to 3-pound range. Then, when you feel you've gotten the hang of browning a whole fish, move on to larger specimens. This is a blast to eat-and should have enough sauce to make plain white rice a terrific accompaniment. A simple Chinese-style vegetable like Snow Peas with Ginger (page 470) would make the meal even better.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

One 3- to 5-pound grouper, red snapper, carp, or sea bass, gilled, gutted, and scaled, head may be on or off
1 cup fish or chicken stock, preferably homemade (page 161 or 160), or water
4 fresh or dried shiitake (black) mushrooms
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons peanut or neutral oil, like corn or grapeseed
Flour for dredging
Salt to taste
1 large onion, sliced
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon peeled and minced or grated fresh ginger
2 or 3 dried red chiles, stemmed, seeded, and minced, or 1 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 tablespoon fermented black beans (page 207)
2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup rice or white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil
Minced scallion and chopped fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Make 3 shallow cuts, from top to bottom, on each side of the fish. If you're using dried mushrooms, heat the stock or water and soak the mushrooms in it.
  • Put the 1/2 cup oil in a nonstick skillet that will accommodate the fish and place over high heat. A few minutes later, when the oil is hot-a pinch of flour will sizzle-dredge the fish heavily on both sides in the flour, then gently lower it into the oil. Cook, sprinkling with salt, until golden brown on both sides, turning just once and adjusting the heat if necessary to prevent scorching. Transfer the fish to a platter and pour off the oil from the skillet. Return it to the stove over medium heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil.
  • Drain the mushrooms if dried (reserving the stock) and slice them thinly, discarding their stems. Add them to the skillet along with the onion and turn the heat to high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, chiles, and black beans and cook, stirring, for another minute. Add the wine, soy sauce, vinegar, and stock. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat to low and return the fish to the pan.
  • Cover and cook gently until the fish is cooked through (peek into one of the slashes; the meat should be opaque clear to the bone), about 15 minutes. Use a pair of spatulas to gently move the fish to a platter. If the mixture is very soupy, turn the heat to high and reduce it until thick, stirring occasionally (if it's not, proceed). Spoon the sauce over and around the fish, then drizzle with the sesame oil and garnish with the scallion and cilantro.
  • Omit the chiles or not, as you like. After adding the liquids in step 3, stir in 1/2 cup honey or sugar and cook until it dissolves. Proceed as directed.
  • Omit the onion, chiles, black beans, and vinegar. Add 1/4 cup bamboo shoots, sliced, with the mushrooms to the skillet in step 3. Proceed as directed.

BRAISED ORANGE ROUGHY WITH LEEKS



Braised Orange Roughy with Leeks image

Categories     Dairy     Fish     Braise     Quick & Easy     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
3 large leeks (white and pale green parts only), halved lengthwise, sliced
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
4 6- to 8-ounce orange roughy fillets
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup dry vermouth
Fresh chives or green onion tops cut into 1-inch lengths

Steps:

  • Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and sprinkle with sugar and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté 5 minutes. Reduce heat and cover and cook until very soft, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Season fish with salt and pepper. Arrange atop leeks. Add cream and vermouth. Cover and cook until fish is opaque, about 8 minutes. Transfer fish to plates and keep warm.
  • Boil sauce until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Top fish with sauce and leeks. Garnish with chives.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: For this recipe, it's best to use a firm-fleshed fish that can withstand braising, such as salmon, cod, or halibut.
  • Prepare the orange: To get the most flavor from the orange, zest it before juicing it. This will release the essential oils that give the orange its characteristic flavor.
  • Use a good quality soy sauce: Soy sauce is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a soy sauce that is labeled "naturally brewed" or "traditionally fermented."
  • Don't overcook the fish: Fish cooks quickly, so it's important to be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The fish will be at its most tender and flavorful right out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Braised fish with orange and soy is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet, savory, and citrus flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook fish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
