Provided by mrivara

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup good-tasting stock (vegetarian or chicken stock)
2 tablespoons fish sauce (or substitute 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce)
1 tablespoon lime juice
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon liquid honey (or substitute brown sugar), plus more to taste
2 teaspoon corn starch dissolved in 4 tblespoon water
1 red chili, minced, or 1 teaspoon chili sauce, or 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoon rice wine for cooking

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients, except garlic and cornstarch in a sauce pan over medium-high heat. When sauce begins to bubble, reduce heat to medium-low. Now add the minced garlic and cornstarch (dissolved in water). Stir until the sauce thickens slightly, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Do a taste test. You're looking for a balance of salty (fish sauce), spicy (garlic and chili), sour (lime), and sweet (sugar). Adjust these flavors to suit your taste. Add a little veggie oil to wok, add carrots, add some of the wine. Add all veggies and 1/3 of sauce. Add remaining sauce and tofu.

THAI BAKED FISH IN GARLIC & CHILI SAUCE



Thai Baked Fish in Garlic & Chili Sauce image

I'm actually posting this here so I can have this available wherever I go. I love this recipe! It's so easy...but great presentation for company. Looks and tastes like you spent hours preparing this. We always double the recipe because if we invite a couple (so 4 of us in all), we eat every bit of BOTH fish...no leftover for later. :( I found the base of this recipe on about.com, but after tinkering, the final recipe is a bit different...better, I think. :) So some pointers: Basil & cilantro: do not mince or chop. Looks much better when whole...like garnish you actually eat. Approx. 2-3 lbs. of a white fish (or two smaller ones) For example, red snapper, rainbow trout or tilapia, fresh or frozen. (defrosted when you are ready to bake) The whole fish, including the head, make for great presentation. I serve this with sticky rice and the green mango salad I posted. If I have time, I'd make tom yum (soup).

Time 30m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 -3 lbs whole white fish, cleaned (descale but leave head and tail on for presentation)
1 bunch fresh cilantro (to taste and for serving presentation)
1 bunch fresh basil (to taste and for serving presentation)
2 lemons (1 sliced for baking, 1 wedged for serving-if you want)
aluminum foil or banana leaf
4 tablespoons oyster sauce
4 tablespoons soy sauce
8 -10 garlic cloves, minced
1 inch fresh ginger, minced (more if you like the taste)
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon lime juice or 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 -3 red chili peppers, sliced or 2 teaspoons thai chili-garlic sauce, depending on how spicy you like it

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Stir all marinade/sauce ingredients together in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Place fish on a cutting board and score it by making vertical cuts an inch or more apart along the length of fish from head to tail. Turn fish over and do the same on the other side.
  • Place fish on a large piece of tin foil or banana leaf. Make sure the foil or leaf is big enough to cover/wrap the fish.
  • Drizzle 3 tablespoons (or more) of the marinade/sauce over each fish, covering both sides. Be sure to spoon some into the cuts you've made, as well as into the cavity. Reserve the rest for later.
  • Stuff the cavity of the fish with lemon slices and some of the basil and cilantro. (approx. 1/4 to 1/2 cup).
  • Bring the long sides of the foil up and over the fish, scrunching it together. Try to keep the foil off the surface of the fish, making a kind of shallow tent over it. Also fold up each end and scrunch to secure. If using banana leaf: Simply fold the sides and ends of the leaf over fish to cover it. With banana leaf, you actually want the leaf to come into contact with the fish, as this adds to the flavor.
  • Bake the wrapped fish on a baking sheet or tray and place in the oven. (Fish wrapped in banana leaf will require a dish or tray, as banana leaf is permeable.).
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or longer, depending on the size and thickness of your fish.
  • Remove fish from oven and check some of the deeper cuts to see if inner flesh is cooked. If fish still needs more time, return to your oven for up to another 8-10 minutes, or until cooked.
  • To finish the fish, remove from oven and open up the foil, scrunching it around the fish to create a kind of bowl. For banana leaf, simply open up the leaf.
  • Pour remaining marinade over fish and return to the oven. Turn oven on "Broil" setting, and broil for approximately 5 minutes, or until the fish is nicely browned and crisp-looking. Banana leaves will become quite brown and fragrant. (keep an eye on it it during the broil to keep it from burning).
  • Remove from the oven and serve the fish with fresh coriander and basil. Add lemon wedges or slices. (or put fresh lemon slices on top & slices on the side).
