sep 11, 2023 (mon).............took 2nd attempt to nail this dish

inspired video (you tuber america test's kitchen) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEvewOTTvjc&t=167s

introduction

- it is totally an invented dish of mine.............inspired by bake cod in foil video

- purpose to maximize utilizing oven while i am busy with the hob (coz i am a very slooooow cook😆)

- indeed more straight forward/ sensible way is stir fry if your hob/ stove has capacity

main ingredients

- 1/2 bag mix veggie (i like the mushroom stir fry from m&s)

- 2 cloves garlic

- 1/2 tablespoon fermented black bean sauce

- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce

steps

1. diced garlic

2. add oil to the small saucepan............put in diced garlic and stir well till fragrant

3. add in fermented black bean sauce and oyster sauce

4. till you smell strong flavor

5. put mixed veggie on foil

6. top with stir fried sauce

7. fold up the foil and seal up 3 sides

8. preheat oven at 180°c

9. put in top 2nd level............switch to top & bottom heat mode for 5 mins and stay in the oven for another 5 mins

10. open the pack and mix well.................done

taste

-nice fragrance of fermented black bean (got the good quality brand)...........very appealing

-right choice of mixed veggie that wont generate too much water

-if eat it alone without pairing rice or plain noodle...........may need to tune down the amount of fermentation black bean sauce coz quite salty

areas of improvement

-i am quite satisfied with this attempt

-perhaps add fish fillet next time
