Yay. i cooked for the first time and its a recipe. its called:

Red-braised Fish Steak

Red-braising is a traditional chinese method of cooking meat, poultry and seafood. After searing the item to be cooked in hot oil, a fragrant sauce containing some sugar and soy sauce is poured over it, then the pan is covered and the food allowed to braise for a while. the characteristic dark red sheen is produced by the fusion of soy sauce, sugar and fat. Red braising is an excellent way to cook deep-water fish steaks or fillets.

Ingredients: 650g (1 1/2 lbs) fresh fish steaks or fillets (i used Gindara fish), 1 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, 2 spring onions

Sauce: 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice wine, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1/2 tsp vinegar, 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger

Serves 4. Preparation time: 15mins. Cooking time: 10mins.

How:

1. Combine the sauce ingredients and set aside.
2. Rinse the fish and pat dry with paper towels, then sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Heat a skillet or shallow wok over medium heat and rub the entire inside surface with a piece of fresh ginger (this helps prevent sticking). Add the oil.
4. when the oil is hot, place the steaks or fillets in the pan and fry for 2 mins on each side. Gently shake the pan to help prevent sticking.
5. pour the sauce over the fish. gently shake the pan to blend and distribute the sauce evenly, then braise without a lid for 1 to 2 mins.
6. Turn the fish, toss in the spring onions and shake the pan. Braise for 2 more mins and transfer to a serving dish.

if you want it spicy, you can add 1 tablespoon of chili paste to the sauce. :D
