Preparation duration: 10 minutes

Cooking duration: 20 minutes

 

Ingredients:

5 stalks baby bok choy

4 6-oz fillets of fish (I used Barramundi, but traditional milkfish or any firm white fish works beautifully)

1/4 cup fish sauce, plus extra to taste

7 cups water or fish stock (vegetable stock also works)

1 large onion, sliced

6 radishes, quartered

4 oz tamarind paste (can be found in your Asian foods section)

1 jalapeño or thai chili, sliced

3 tomatoes, quartered

Equipment:

pot

bowl

Cooking instruction summary:

In a large pot, mash and dissolve the tamarind paste in 1 cup of hot water. Add the onion, fish sauce and water (or fish/vegetable stock). Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer, and stir periodically, mashing the tamarind paste as it cooks. Let it simmer for about 12 minutes. Strain and return the tamarind broth and onion slices to the pot.Bring the broth to a boil again over medium high heat, then add the tomatoes, radishes, and fish. Cook for about 8 minutes, or until the fish is opaque. As the fish cooks, add the bok choy towards the end, and adjust seasoning with more fish sauce if necessary. Divide the fish, vegetables and broth in serving bowls and garnish with chili slices if desired. Serve with rice.

Food Joke

I hate aspects of this time of year. Not for its crass commercialism and forced frivolity, but because it`s the season when the food police come out with their wagging fingers and annual tips on how to get through the holidays without gaining 10 pounds.1. About those carrot sticks. Avoid them. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they`re serving rum balls.2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. Like fine single-malt scotch, it`s rare. In fact, it`s even rarer than single-malt scotch. You can`t find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It`s not as if you`re going to turn into an eggnogaholic or something. It`s a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It`s later then you think. It`s Christmas!3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That`s the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they`re made with skim milk or whole milk. If it`s skim, pass. Why bother? It`s like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission.5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas party is to eat other peoples food for free. Lots of it. Hello? Remember college?6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Years, You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you`ll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa. Position yourself near them, and don`t budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They`re like a beautiful pair of shoes. You can`t leave them behind. You`re not going to see them again.8. Same for pies. Apple. Pumpkin. Mincemeat. Have a slice of each. Or, if you don`t like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert? Labor Day?9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it`s loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean have some standards, mate.10. And one final tip: If you don`t feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven`t been paying attention. Reread tips. Start over. But hurry! Cookieless January is just around the corner.
