EDIT: Where the same ingredients thing is concerned, I do the same thing with chicken, but I usually add the water and noodles while the chicken's still in the pot and serve it up as soup. | ||

First you have to steam the fish...most important step...should never overcook(difficult step)... Remove fish.Put on serving plate.Whille fish cooks,peel ginger,cut in thin slices,then into thin strips.Peel shallots,cut in thin diagonal slices.Pour soy sauce over fish,sprinkle with ginger and shallots.Heat oil until nearly boiling.Pour over fish. lol personally my mom doesnt use shallots, just ginger and and uhhhh spring onions ;D oh and i tried north korean food in china. the waitresses were north korean and shit too it was cool. and i tried north korean alcohol lol it was sick but really expensive. me and my friends were like damn we're funding their nuclear program! | ||

ingredients: assam skin tumeric powder lady's fingers(3 of them if you are eating alone) 1 tomato Fish(promfet works really well. if you don't have promfet, red snappers work fine as well) 6 cloves of garlic 1/2 onion chillis(1 or 2 will do if you are eating it by yourself) a few chilli padis(these are fucking hot so don't add too many. i usually add like 2 if im eating alone) 2 sticks of lemongrass 1/4 cube of chicken stock salt and sugar not sure how they sell it at where you live but over here, they sell the assam seeds wrapped with the skin mixed with tumeric powder. so all i needed to do was to mix the thing in hot water for an hour, remove the skins off the assam seeds and take the water with the skins, throwing away the seeds and extra residue. if they don't you can buy the tumeric powder and the assam yourself. if they don't sell it mixed, pound the assam skins, tumeric powder, chillis(diced with seeds), diced garlic(like 1/2 of what you have prepared), 1/4 onions(keep the other 1/4 undiced) together. make sure you pound and mix them very well. you must get a mixture where everything is well mixed and pounded such that you don't have big pieces of things inside. Now, get a wok, heat it up first with oil for a min on high heat. Get the garlic in for around 30 seconds then add in the paste you just made. the paste will be quite thick so after you manage to spread it around the wok for a bit, add in some water. not too much water till it becomes diluted. around 1/2 to 3/4 cup is usually sufficient. the mixture in the wok has to be quite thick otherwise it will taste weird with the dilute texture. put in the chicken stock, put in the tomatoes and the ladies fingers that you chopped. add in the lemon grass after that and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes until ladies finger is somewhat cooked. after that, add in your fish and just simmer until the fish is cooked. ready to eat | ||

Learning how to make good ramen noodle soups is really good and cheap. Again theres so many variables you're best off looking online for a recipe you like. Thai Coconut soups are also very good, if somewhat difficult to get right sometimes. Oh and you aren't a real man unless you can make decent chow mein. The spices and seasonings used in these, as well as the coconut base for the sauces, can be used in multiple dishes. Best of luck, Asian food is mad hard to get good at  | ||

Those tofu soup (in Korean, soon-doo-boo-jji-geh) are so awesome that I can't stop making sensual sounds while eating them. | ||
