Chinese Baked Whole Fish with Ginger and Spring Onions

January 21, 2023 by Christian Gott - An Island Chef 2 Comments

Chinese Baked Whole Fish with Ginger and Spring Onions. A whole steamed or baked fish is served at the end of the Chinese New Year Feast. It symbolises an increase in prosperity. In Chinese dialect fish 鱼 Yú, sounds like the word for surplus. In China it is believed if you can save something at the end of the old year, you will make more in the next. 年年有余  Niánnián yǒu yú May you always have more than you need!

Chinese New Year and Kung Pao Chicken

February 5, 2019 by Christian Gott 1 Comment

My Kung Pao Chicken

You make real thing from stir-fried soy marinated chicken, leeks and raw peanuts. Your flavour comes from Sichuan peppercorns and red chillies. They are first heated in hot oil with perhaps some ginger and garlic. Then you serve the finished dish with simply steamed rice.
