Homemade fish stock

Homemde fish stock.. how does that sound? Most will be scared of the fishy taste especially Mr sim.. but this is really good though it look kind of thick BUT they tasted very light in fact. No fishy taste/smell

because....

read further down for the step by step

This is part of the bone from this fish

Really still alots of meat leave on the bones but i decided to just boil it to get the juices out into the stock..

You can use any fish bones that can be purchase

How to get rid of the fishy smell and taste..

Season with a lil of salt

I decide pan slightly pan fried the fish adding in spring onions and gingers to get rid of the smell

After its slightly pan fried, i added in some water to boil for 10min under high flame...

Optional* add in 1 tablespoon of 花雕酒

Pour into a pot with 2 soup bowl of water.

Boil under high flame for 20min then lower to small flame to boil for 2-3hrs.

3hrs later.. look very gross isn't it? But no worries..

Drain them using a sieve

you will get a nice clear soup.

If you had cooked alots, no worries of not able to finish it. You can always keep it frozen for another day.

Hong Kong Style Instant Noodles

All thanks to Bro's for sending me picture of his Hongkong style instant maggi mee which they added abalone when we are having dinner outside with my parents...

we all had a good laugh when dad said me, where they went for dinner...

I decided to imitate Hong Kong Cafe style of instant noodle. Seriously I find those sold in the cafe are way overpriced instant noodles... For a bowl of such noodles.. am really not interested to pay $8 or more for it when i can juz do it @ home...

So i suggested to Mr sim, my version..

Lol yeap no Abalone coz i doesn't fancy such thing.. * how fortunate* Mr sim is.. can save alots when his wife doesn't eat such expensive stuffs.. haha
