Fry Fish Fillet with Guava and Fermented Soy Beans

This is a very Chinese homey dish. My kids will certainly love the fish fillet with the fermented soy bean. The guava gives this dish a unique flavour. You may substitute the guava with other vegetables like zucchini, cucumber, etc.

Instructions

Basa fillet is used because of its firm texture and it would’nt break up easily when fried.

Lorna018_edited-1Wash and dry the fish fillet and cut into bite size. Season the fish fillet with salt and pepper and coat with corn flour. Pan fry the fish fillet with a little oil until slightly brown. Dish out onto a plate.
Lorna020_edited-1Fry the ginger, garlic and fermented soy bean in the same frying pan until fragant.

Stir in the guava just to heat them up a little. Serve hot with steam rice.

    That looks simply amazing. Although I have never tried gava on it’s own, it seems like a good recipe. Wondering though, when you say fermented soy, you mean miso right? Sweet or bitter miso?

    Thanks 😀

    Hi Jeff, the Chinese fermented soy bean is usually slightly salty and very fragrant.

    Hi Suanne,

    I want to be one of your kids if it means I get to eat food like that every day. (^_^) Guava with black beans sounds like a great combination. Very original.

    I would never have thought of stir-frying a fish dish with black beans until I started cooking for my parents…
