Homemade "Yong Tau Foo" Soup
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim (?In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful?) Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh (?Peace be unto you and so may the mercy of Allah and His blessings?) Alhamdulillah (?All praise is due to Allah?) This post was meant to be for Sunday (13/02/2011).  Spending her holidays in Sicily, Italia.I suddenly feel like eating "Yong Tau Foo" Soup. My sister in law (or should I say ex-sister in law?) made a very nice Yong Tau Foo even though the ingredients or the "isi" "Yong Tau Foo" she made was not homemade, its was really good! Kinda miss her cooking sometimes, she made very nice "Bihun Vietnam" as well (cant recall was it Vietnam or Thailand?) Owwhhh! At this very moment (drooling....), missing her "Chicken and Mushroom in Ginger Oyster Sauce". She hardly cook, every times she's in the kitchen she made one hell of a mess but heavenly taste food! She always.... ALWAYS.... "masak campak campak" but honestly, never taste like "campak campak" one! Alright!! Back to the Homemade "Yong Tau Foo" Soup with homemade fish paste! Yahhh! You read it right and it is not a typo! I repeat "homemade fish paste". So I went to the wet market in Bandar Sungai Long and bought one whole fish weighted about 1/2kg of Tenggiri Batang (Spanish Mackerel), you can use others buts ikan tenggiri is the best! The fish paste you made not only look good but also taste good. It might be quite costly as a kilogram of the fish will cost you RM39.80, but worth buying! I will post the recipe and methods here, just in case you want to try! Will leave you guys with this, I'm working on another post ! Like coffee?? How about "Homemade Mexican Bun"? But first I need to search for my "kerajinan"! *wink*wink* "Homemade Fish Paste" What you need 1/2 kg Spanish Mackerel @ Ikan tenggiri batang (you'll get around 300gm of fish meat, that's what i get! You can get more if you really take you time scrapping the meat from the bones) 1 teaspoon + 1/8 teaspoon salt mix with 4 Tablespoon of icy cold water 1/2 teaspoon white pepper powder (I don't really like the taste of white pepper, but you need to put it in to cut off the unwanted fishy smell, you know what I mean!) 1 Tablespoon corn starch What You Do Scrape the fish flesh with metal spoon. Remove any bones Put the scraped fish flesh onto chopping board. Using the back Chinese cleaver, chop the fish flesh until fine. Move into a bowl.
