Fish on the Bed

preparation time:

- fish about 5 minutes plus overnight rest in fridge

- cooking day – 10-15 minutes

- cooking time: 15-20 minutes

- level: easy

Ingredients:

-fish. In Chinese recipes we usually see all fish, but gutted. In this recipeI used chunk of quite big fish, about 200-250 g. I like using big fish, because bones are easy to remove – there is very small risk of choking by fishbone. Cost – about 5 RMB for good quality piece of fish. Available in "wet markets",and department stores (I prefer wet-markets, but it is always up to you).

-green peppers. Little spicy, middle size, but you can use as well red ones,and not spicy at all – as you wish. Available on green-markets and wet-markets,very cheap. Shown quantity costs no more that 2 RMB.

-red peppers. Small red peppers are usually spicy, so are "mine" J. Use as many you like, if you likevery spicy - then 5+, if more delicate – try begin from one. Not as cheap as bigger cousins, but still used quantity matches level of about 1 RMB.

-ginger. Use always fresh, juicy one. Available in every green-market. For all"root" (this is not a root) about 5 RMB, chunk shown on picture is maybe 1/10 of "root".

-garlic. Chinese one. Described before.

-green onion. Described before.

-"five tastes spice" (Wu Xiang Fen). Common spice, available in many corner-stores, and markets of course. Cost – few RMB. You can use any other up to your taste.
