Let me present another hit from Tastes of Home's kitchen - the Red Snapper in Ground Bean Sauce! I picked up this Red Snapper and thought that it would go well with some ground bean sauce I had in my fridge. The versatile ground bean sauce is mainly made from soy beans, and goes rather well with many dishes -it is also used to make sweet dipping sauces used with chee cheong fun (flat noodles) and yong tau foo (stuffed beancurd), both popular streetfood in Asia.
I used some red chilli peppers to add another layer of spicy fragrance to my bean sauce and added some Chinese Rice Wine (Shaoxing Wine) to delicately flavour the fish as well. If you prefer your dish to be less spicy, simply soak the chilli peppers in cold water for a bit and remove the seeds since the heat comes mainly from the seeds. As always, I added ginger and green onions for a fragrant fish dish.
In a 'fishy' mood? Please click below for some other fish recipes of mine:
Chinese Steamed Copper Rockfish
Seared Hamachi (Yellowtail)
Chinese Pan-fried Red Rockfish Fillets
Ingredients:
1 Red Snapper, cleaned and scaled
1 tbsp ground bean sauce
2 red chilli peppers, sliced
3 stalks green onions, sliced diagonally
1 tbsp chopped fresh ginger, you may add more according to your preference
1-2 tsp of sugar
1 tsp Chinese Rice Wine (Shaoxing Wine)
Method:
First, heat up about 2 tbsps of cooking oil in a wok. Wait about 30 seconds, then add the chilli peppers, green onions and ginger into the wok. Stir-fry around briskly, next add the bean paste. Turn the heat to medium and continue stirring around till fragrant. Now, add the fish (lightly coat in salt and corn starch) into the wok and turn the heat to medium low. Add about 1/2 cup water and turn up the heat again. Pan-fry each of the fish until cooked, about 5-8 minutes on each side depending on the size of your fish. Place the fish on a serving plate and spoon the rest of the sauce onto the fish. Serve immediately.
