Cantonese Cream Corn Fish Fillet Recipes

CANTONESE CREAM CORN FISH FILLET

Steps:

• Season the fish fillets with some salt.
• Mix all the coating ingredients (except for the egg) together.
• Dip the fish fillet into the beaten egg (for coating) and then drench them into the cornflour mix until thoroughly coated.
• In a large pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry the fish fillets until golden brown in colour, roughly 5 minutes for each side. Add more oil if needed. Set aside and use a kitchen towel paper to soak up any excess oil.
• In the same pan, pour in the canned cream corn and warm it under medium heat. Once it starts bubbling, turn down to low heat and slowly stir in the beaten egg. Keep stirring until the egg start to form egg ribbons.
• Bring the fish fillets back into the pan and gently toss with the sauce. Garnish with chopped spring onions, if using. Serve immediately.

SOOK MEI FAAN (CANTONESE CREAMED CORN WITH TOFU AND RICE)

Steps:

• Carefully pat the tofu dry with a clean kitchen towel, and cut each block into 8 slices.
• Place half the corn kernels into a blender or food processor, and blitz until creamy but still chunky.
• Heat a medium saucepan or deep skillet over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tablespoon oil. Add the ginger, garlic and scallions, and cook for 20 seconds until aromatic. (They shouldn't brown too much.) Add the remaining corn kernels, along with the blitzed corn and vegetable stock, season well with salt and white pepper, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes to bring the mixture to a boil. Stirring constantly, slowly add the cornstarch slurry, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture is slightly thickened.
• Divide rice among bowls. For each serving, lay 4 slices of silken tofu on top of the rice and top with a few spoonfuls of the creamed corn. Finish with scallions, cilantro and drizzle with sesame or chile oil.
