Sardines with Black Bean and Ginger
Karen ChanIngredients:
- 110g Safcol Sardines in Springwater, drained
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 clove garlic, sliced
- 2 slices ginger, julienned
- 2 spring onions, cut to 2cm lengths
- 1 tbsp brandy (you may substitute this with Chinese cooking wine)
- 2 tsp black bean sauce (available in the Asian food aisle of supermarkets or Asian grocer)
Sauce Mix:
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp sesame
- ½ tsp sugar
- 1/3 cup water
To Serve:
- Dash of white pepper
- Extra spring onions, fresh coriander and julienned red chillies for garnish
Method:
- In a small bowl, mix together all ingredients for sauce mix and set aside.
- On a serving plate, gently remove the sardines from the tin and place on a heat-proof serving dish.
- In a hot pan on medium heat, add the oil and then fry ginger, garlic and spring onions until slightly brown.
- Add black beans and fry for another minute.
- Gently pour in the brandy and then add the sauce mix. Bring to simmer and remove from heat.
- Spoon the black bean sauce onto the sardines, ensuring the sauce is drizzled on all the sardines to enable residual heat to warm the fish. Garnish with a dash of white pepper, coriander, spring onions and chilies.
- Serve with piping hot rice for a light meal or as a complementary dish at a main meal.
