Peacock Steamed Fish 绰绰有余 - Cny Spread #Ii

I didn't hunt downwardly whatsoever peacock for this dish. Nor peahen. Nor its chicks or egg.
It'second merely the method of system that resembles a peacock. The auspicious Chinese advert I gave this dish 绰绰有余, means, more than enough. And the 绰 (cheok), sounds like the Cantonese pronunciation for peacock.

I saw this method of steaming fish for quite a few years on Chinese websites. It'sec the perfect method if your fish is as well big for the wok too yous don't take a plate that is long enough to agree it. Chopping the fish into half is not presentable. And for Lunar New Year's Day, according to customs, the fish needs to accept the caput and tail, and so that everything volition be abundant whole twelvemonth long. 年年有余，有头有尾.

I used this method twice, and twice alongside very long fishes, almost 2ft long each.

This was my 2nd effort amongst a big Threadfin, steamed for CNY 2014'second reunion dinner

I kept the seasoning elementary, amongst fried garlic and garlic crude oil, chilli in addition to spring onion. I simply used bottled Lee Kum Kee Steam Fish sauce  in addition to doused it accordingly. You can purpose whatever sauce yous similar.

I likewise didn't cutting it like it like how the website slice the fish. They did it similar a fan. I sliced the whole fish thoroughly. This fashion, everybody can take a piece of the fish, without needing to dig.

My 1st attempt, amongst a long Snakehead, 生鱼

It'sec slowly in addition to pretty.
So, no need to draw your pilus if someone gives y'all the job of cooking a large too long fish, in addition to summation present it nicely. You can endeavor out this method.

No recipe for this fourth dimension... just only sharing a method I constitute that enables me to steam a long fish inwards a presentable, however convenient style.

each one have one piece..... tardily correct?
