Crispy Spiced Fish Finger 香脆鱼柳

Homemade fish fingers aka fish sticks have more fish, more flavour and more crunch than shop bought. Usually served as side dish or finger food. My homemade recipe can be done in three ways - air-fried, pan-fried/ deep fried or oven baked. 

Well, finger food is always a winner with kids. I started making fish finger for my boy when he was a toddler. I started with a basic one with just simple seasoning. You may check out the details here >> Basic Crispy Fish Finger recipe  (<< tap the link to view recipe).

This time, I used frozen fish instead of fresh fish fillet. And so, I have added some natural spices to enhance the flavour. I have got some NOMU spices, the spices from South Africa. As usual, when I select ingredients, I would read the label to make sure there's no added MSG and artificial additives, these NOMU spices met my requirements. :) 

中文食谱：请在网页的右边点击Translate，然后选择中文翻译或 点击进入 》中文食谱 》

Ingredients:
(Yield 2-3 servings)

170g Fish Fillet (Cut into 1 inch stripes) 

(A)

*NOMU Sea Salt, add to taste  

*NOMU Rainbow Pepper/ Black Pepper, add to taste

*NOMU One For All Seasoning, add to taste

1/8 tsp Garlic Powder  

1/4 tsp Olive Oil


(B)

50g Bread Crumbs/ Japanese Panko

1 tsp NOMU Poultry Rub*

A dash of Curry Powder 

A dash of Ground Turmeric


*NOMU spices is available in various Fairprice Finest and hypermart stores islandwide. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Method:

1. Dry fish fillet with kitchen towel. Add in (A), coat well and let marinate for 15 minutes. 

Love this NOMU ONE FOR ALL seasoning.
It's so aromatic, you can simply add this into any dishes.

2. Dust the fillet with some flour.

3. Dip fish fillet into the egg until it's completely covered with egg.

4. Add all ingredients (B) in a bowl, mix well.

This is NOMU Poultry Rub.
Besides roast chicken/ ribs, this Poultry Rub can be added in bread crumbs to enhance the flavour.
It's well blended, so convenient to use. 

5. Dip fish fillet into bread crumbs mixture until it's completely covered with bread crumbs.

Air-fry Method:

1. Grease fryer's pan with olive oil. Place fillet and gently press to flatten. Repeat same steps for all the fillet.

2. Spray a little olive oil on the fillet.

3. Air fry for 8 minutes.

Pan-fry Method: 

1.  Heat oil in a frying pan. Add in the fillet and cook 2-3 minutes on each side or until cook through, golden and crisp.

*Do not over-cooked the fillet to remain the moist in the fillet.

Oven Baked Method: 

1. Preheat oven 180'C, bake for 15-18 minutes.

Crab Meat Egg Drop Soup 蟹肉蛋花汤

Egg drop soup is a Chinese soup of wispy beaten eggs in boiled broth. Condiments such as peas, corns, seafood or meat are optional, but commonly added to the soup for greater flavour. 

Whenever I brought my kid to the wet market, he would "drag" me to the fish stall to buy seafood. Happened in June holiday when the boy accompanied me to the market, he spotted flower crab and told me to cook crab meat soup for him. Well, this is something that I would never include in my school holiday menu because I don't want to spare so much time in the kitchen removing flesh from the shell. But, he insisted and promised he would wait patiently for the delicious crab meat egg drop soup. And so, I have cooked this and the boy loved it so much!

Rice Cooker Soft & Moist Banana Cake 电饭锅香蕉蛋糕

This is my all-time favorite banana cake recipe, made completely from scratch. But this time, it's baked in a rice cooker, not an oven. 

Ever since I got my Song Cho rice cooker, I have always wanted to try out the CAKE function. Happened to have some overripe bananas at home, so I give it a try and it was successful. 

This is the rice cooker that I used to bake this Soft & Moist Banana Cake.
