chinese food

There are many fish dishes in Chinese cooking, in fact Chinese people love to eat fish, not only because fish gives great nutrition to our body but also because it is delicious. Many Chinese fish recipes can be easily found, such as steamed fish, deep fried fish, curry fish and so forth, but not braised fish with salted vegetable. I am not sure is it because this dish is not popular enough, or not many people know how to make this dish, or not many people love this dish. No matter what it is, the point of the matter is = I love it and hope you gonna like it too! : )

Because salted vegetable (Ham Choi/Xian Cai) and tomato are added in to braised fish with salted vege, it tastes a bit sourly, salty and sweet, makes this a tangy mouth-watering dish that one will remember it forever once he tried. Don’t take my words for good, try it yourself and you will know what I  mean here.

300g Soba fish, clean and cut into pieces
