Dinner Thursday 13 September - Cod with Noodle Stir Fry


Cod with Noodle Stir Fry
150g cod fillet
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornflour
salt, pepper & 5 spice powder

2 cloves garlic
1 thumb ginger
80g baby corn
60g sugar snaps
55g each red, yellow & green pepper
1/2 pack (100g) straight to wok noodles
1/2 jar Hoi Sin sauce (about 80g)
handful coriander

This is basically just a re-run of the stir fry I had on 11 September with a cod fillet added in.

I was trying to re-create the sort of coating you get in Chinese restaurants on things like Salt & Pepper Squid, but without deep frying. So, I rubbed the fish with sesame oil, the mixed the flour, salt, pepper & 5 spice together and used it to coat the fish. I then baked it is a hot oven for 15 minutes. The result was disappointing - the fish was cooked and tasted fine, but the coating was soft, not crisp. Oh well.
