"Playwrights are like men who have been dining for a month in an Indian restaurant. After eating curry night after night, they deny the existence of asparagus."
Peter Ustinov

Asian recipes have draw on thousands of years of experience to produce a rich variety of spicy and healthy recipes.

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Sweet & Sour Fish

 

Ingredients

1 1/4 lb firm white fish fillets, such as co, d, sea bass, or
1 halibut, cut into 1 1/2 x 2 inch st, rips
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp white pepper
1 sweet and sour sauce
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup chinese pickled cucumber (optional)
3 tbsp ketchup
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp hot pepper sauce
1 pinch white pepper
1 flour for dry-coating
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cornstarch for dry-coating
1 vegetable oil for deep-frying
1/2 small carrot, cut into match-stick pieces
1 green onion (including top) cut int, o 2-inch slivers
2 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon, water



 

Preparation

Some cooks are surprised to see ketchup used in Chinese cooking. They
might be less surprised if they knew that the name (and the
condiment) came from Asia in the first place. "Ketjap" (or "kecap",
both pronounced the same) is a Malay word meaning "seasoned Sauce."

Preparation:

Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper and set aside.

Combine sweet and sour sauce ingredients in a medium bowl and set
aside.

Place flour, egg and cornstarch in separate bowls. Coat each piece of
fish with flour, shaking off excess. Dip fish in egg, then dredge with
cornstarch. Set aside for 10 minutes.

Cooking:

Set wok in a ring stand and add oil to a depth of about 2 inches.
Over high heat, bring oil to 360 deg.F. Add fish,a few pieces at a
time, and cook for 4 minutes or until golden brown. Lift out and
drain on paper towels. Keep warm in a 200 deg.F oven while cooking
remaining fish.

Bring sauce to a boil over medium-high heat. Add carrot and green
onion and cook for 30 seconds. Add cornstarch solution and cook,
stirring until sauce boils and thickens.

Pour sauce on a platter. Arrange fish over sauce and serve
immediately.
