I love salted fish cooked this way especially if the flesh of the spanish mackeral is soft and powdery - the cantonese way to describe this texture is 'MUI HEONG". MUI - means can be torn easily - that is if it is a piece of cloth but for the fish - MUI means melts in the mouth. HEONG - Fragrant to those who have acquired a taste for it. Unfortunately, this salted fish bought in the Korean Store, is very different from the salted MUI HEONG from Malaysia. The flesh is not salty and it is firm. Anyway, it made a very good accompaniment to plain rice or congee.

I have a container of salted mackarel packed in oil, I don't know what to do with it? Any suggestions? Can it be used in this recipe? It's sort of stinky...
nathan
the ones which are stinky and packed in oil are the best. yes you can use this recipe. you could have steam ground pork with a piece of salted fish on top.
The salted fish is fantastic for fried rice or added into the fish and pork paste for yeong tau foo.
I think i have added some into the claypot tofu.
Lily, surely you would like this dish, do you steam
reconstituted dry-
cured duck cut into pieces with just some ginger
and rice wine on a platter until done?
How do you get rid of residual
cooking smells
especially after
preparing a salted
fish/fried rice
dish?

i would light up a candle to rid of residual smell and for the microwave, i will nuke a glass of water with a tsp of vanilla
I bought a quantity of premium smoked
salmon fillets at a very
substantial discount indeed at my local Western supermarket,
very good for eating in conjunction with
intended foods, it's very salty,
was wondering if
I could cook or
use it much like
I would with salted dried fish.

be adventurous with your food. i bet you can.
You pay me a compliment that I'm totally undeserved of, being a novice
cook(sigh!)
Premium smoked salmon is normally
unaffordable but
at a 75% discount
I couldn't resist making some purchases but am not sure about
freezing the unused packets as
possibly affecting
texture, any tips, apart from
keeping in coldest part of fridge.
