Sauteed Fish With Thai Coriander Chili Sauce Recipes

GRILLED PRAWNS WITH GARLIC-CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat; lightly oil the grate.
• Cook the shrimp on the hot grill until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, 5 to 10 minutes. Arrange the prawns on a serving platter.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the garlic in the hot oil until brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir the lemon grass, chile peppers, shallot, lime leaves, fish sauce, lime juice, and chilli paste into the garlic; toss to combine. Spoon the sauce over the prawns. Garnish with the mint to serve.

SIMPLE SAUTEED FISH WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Rinse the fish fillets and blot dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat butter in wide sauté pan over medium low heat. Once butter has begun to foam, place the fish into the pan.
• Add garlic. Sauté 1 minute without disturbing the fish.
• Tilt the pan toward you and using a spoon, ladle the garlic butter over the fish. Continue to sauté while basting the fish for 2-3 minutes.
• Using a spatula, gently flip fish. Reduce heat to low, cover pan and cook for 2 minutes.
• Uncover pan, and continue basting fish with butter until it is just cooked through, another minute or two.
• Add 3 tablespoons of parsley and turn off the heat.
• Transfer fish onto a platter or individual plates. Tilt pan and spoon butter sauce evenly over fillets.
• Sprinkle with remaining tablespoon parsley and lemon juice.

THAI-STYLE DUMPLINGS WITH CORIANDER DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the filling:
• In a bowl combine well the scallion, the pork, the gingerroot, the bell pepper, the cabbage, the garlic, the oil, the soy sauce, the coriander, the egg, and salt and pepper to taste and chill the filling for at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Put about 1 heaping teaspoon of the filling in the center of 1 of the wrappers and moisten the edge of the wrapper. Gather the edge of the wrapper up and around the filling and form a waist with the wrapper, pushing the dumpling from the bottom and keeping the filling level with the top of the wrapper. (The filling should not be enclosed.) Continue to make dumplings with the remaining wrappers and filling in the same manner and arrange them in one layer on a baking sheet lined with wax paper dusted lightly with the cornstarch. (The dumplings may be prepared up to this point 8 hours in advance and kept uncovered and chilled or 1 month in advance and kept covered tightly and frozen. If the dumplings are frozen, do not thaw them in advance.)
• Make the sauce:
• In a bowl whisk together the naam pla, the lime juice, the vinegar, the sugar, the gingerroot, the mint, the coriander, salt and pepper to taste.
• In a large non-stick skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it fry half the dumplings, flat sides down, over moderately high heat for 1 minute, or until the undersides are golden. Add 1/2 cup water and steam the dumplings, covered, over moderate heat for 3 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through. (If using frozen dumplings, fry them, frozen, for 1 minute, or until the undersides are golden, and steam them, adding 3/4 cup water per batch, covered, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through.) Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and cook the remaining dumplings in the same manner. Garnish the dumplings with the coriander sprigs and serve them with the sauce.
