Steamed Cod Fish 清蒸鳕鱼

This dish is perfect for first timers who wish to learn how to steam a fish.
This is because the high fat content of Cod Fish makes it more forgiving on timing - fish doesn't become chewy and tasteless even if slightly over-steamed.

Ingredients:
- 1 lb Cod Fish fillet, defrosted and washed.
- Seasoning: 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice wine, 4 tbsp water, some sliced ginger and scallions.
Note: may add 1 tsp oil to seasoning
- Garnish (optional): cilantro, sliced red pepper

Method:
1. Cut fish into 10 pieces. Marinate with seasonings for 30 minutes.
2. Wrap separately in aluminum foil.
3. Steam 10 minutes on high heat.

Pan Fried Brussels Sprouts

With instructions from Tiff, I tried this dish last night and liked the result a lot!
Sprouts have absorbed all the flavor of butter, red onion, and with a good kick from the red pepper flakes.

The only imperfection was the sprouts were still on the harder side, which can be easily remedied by steaming the sprouts for 2-3 minutes (with lid on) as the last step.

Ingredients:
- Brussels sprouts, halved (the smaller the better)
- 1 medium red onion, sliced (according to Tiff, any other onion just doesn't taste the same)
- 3 tbsp butter (oh yeah)
- red pepper flakes (to taste)
- salt and pepper (to taste)

Method:
1. Preheat pan on medium heat. Melt 1 tbsp butter and fry red onion till brown. (Patience..) Add red pepper flakes.
2. Melt another tbsp of butter, add in Brussels sprouts.
3. Pan fry till slightly burned. Stir constantly. (More patience..) Season with salt and pepper.
Note: Brussels sprouts can take quite some salt.
4. Add in some water and cover with lid. Steam till water is gone and sprouts are still crunchy but not too hard.

Jamaican Jerk Chicken Wing (with Video)

Some wings are just hot, but Jerk wings are hot and flavorful with the crunchy black pepper dancing on the taste bud!
It has always been a must for me whenever I hit a wing joint.
Since wing joints are so hard to find in the Bay Area, I found this recipe on YouTube and decided to do it myself!

Definitely a party pleaser!
