Welcome to the Pakistani Kitchen Blog, everyone. I'm going to share something with you today. One of the trademarks of Indo-Chinese cuisine is the recipe I'm going to show you today.
This is a classic fried rice dish, but not just any fried rice. I'm going to show you how to make fish fried
rice.You might be asking why you should watch this. Because this isn't something you'll find in any
restaurant.You must do this, believe me.
Let's get started.
What's crucial to note here, like with many Indo-Chinese specialties, is that It'll be a speedy stir-fry,
that's for sure. A wok on a very high heat setting. Let's start with vegetable oil. There are a few things
to keep in mind while making a meal like this. One is of rice quality, and the other is of fish quality.
Any long grain rice will suffice, but if you're in India, a Sella or Basmati kind will suffice.
Choose any long grain rice that keeps its shape, which is highly significant in the international market.
This recipe calls for a black-spotted croaker fish, often known in Marathi and Bombay as Ghol or Ghol.
To be more precise, Mumbai. Snapper, salmon, mackerel, basa, and pomfret are all good choices.It must be filet and boneless.It's critical.
Now, typically in a fried rice recipe or anything Indo-Chinese, meats or seafood are deep-fried, marinated, deep fried, and then kept at room temperature until they are tossed near the end, but this is a twist on the same recipe.I'm going to fry the fish directly. Add a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper to this.And the fish is finished and ready to eat. Because the pieces are boneless and small, they will cook faster. Scrape it like that. Once the fish pieces have lost their translucency and have developed a milky-white rind and a golden brown rind, the flame is turned off and the fish pieces are transferred to another bowl.You should use a different, clean bowl than the one in which you had the raw fish.These are just a few simple strategies to avoid cross-contamination when working in the kitchen. Toss the rice in the same pan we used for the fish, but for now, set the pieces of fish aside and get started cutting a few items.
Let's start with the red bell pepper. I'm only going to use a smidgeon of pepper. Take out the seeds.
and then cut them into even pieces. Let's move on to the yellow bell pepper.Well, vegetable or animal
cuts, particularly Chinese or Indo-Chinese, are incredibly crucial; focus on them and you'll have won
half the battle. Let us now turn our attention to green capsicum.Because I'm making a small amount
(I'm making it for a couple), this is completely good and sufficient, but if you're preparing it for a large family, an entire fruit or vegetable will be required. Your capsicum and bell pepper have been cut and
are ready to use. I've also got some blanched green peas to go with it. A few finely diced red onions,
some chopped ginger, and some chopped garlic.
Let's keep working in the same direction.We're going to start with vegetable oil.It's also crucial to
roll this out completely in the pan. So that it's evenly heated for that great wok flavor. Let's start
with the garlic, which has been chopped.Then comes the ginger, which is diced. Red onions, diced
Because you're adding one after another, everything has to be done quickly. A quick toss of blanched
peas And then I'm going to throw in the bell peppers and capsicum right after that. Mind you, these
were just a few rapid tosses over a strong flame. So, if you're wondering what Wok Hei means,
let me explain. While preparing Indo-Chinese cuisine, this smoky aroma stays.It is extremely
essential, practically a unique feature of Indo-Chinese cuisine. So, I'm going to set everything away
because you still want the vegetables to have a bite to them. And to this, I'm going to add a very
small amount of oil, perhaps 1 tsp., which will be used primarily to fry the egg.I'm going to take an
egg that's been broken like this and whisk it. Perhaps a pinch of salt. If the necessity arises,
This is how it goes in straight.You must, of course, drink it down to the last drop. Allow the egg to
come together naturally, keep its shape, and then break it at that point.Because, as I already stated, we want shards of egg, not scrambled eggs or Bhurgi.Worst-case scenario When the egg starts to cook
on its own,We're going to roll it, or more accurately, push and pull it. And it's there that you'll find
these lovely egg shards. That's it for now. Combine everything. As I always say, a couple of short
tosses. And now you have these magnificent egg shards, as you can see. It's time to add the parboiled
rice. Just make sure you don't break any of the rice grains in the process. Let's get started seasoning
this right away.
Let's start with a pinch of salt. Keeping in mind that the fish had been well-seasoned Next, I'm going
to add some soy sauce.Let's also include this. Ajinomoto Monosodium Glutamate comes next. There
are still those schools in society that believe it is bad. You can escape this if you are one of those
people who believe in it. You can also add a dash of fish sauce or chicken spice powder to the mix. Sugar is only a few grains. It's also chucking time.After that, there's one last component, Pyaaz Koli,
commonly known as Scapes, which is a seasonal specialty this year. These are onion blooms, but if you
can't get your hands on this lovely ingredient, spring onions will suffice.Let's reduce things down to size. Let's add this delightful layer of flavor, which is utilized frequently in Bengali cuisine. They
produce fritters and a beautiful Sabzi, and I've lately tried something with dried fish that turned out to be fantastic. Another quick toss is in order. Without further ado, this is placed on the serving platter. Last but not least, there's the fish, which has been fried and is now steeping in that exquisitely flavorful oil. Let's add to this. Also, don't forget to include the flavored oil. Your fish fried rice is now complete
and ready to serve. Make this for your family and friends to impress them this holiday season!
