Another entry in our Chinese Salted Fish dishes for the jolly old Salted Fish lover (or bold new adventurer!). It really is worth exploring Salted Fish, even though it may seem over whelming at first. I still remember the first time I tried anchovies and thought to myself, whoa, what the heck is this stuff?! And now I love and appreciate anchovies tremendously.
Chinese Salted Fish is like that, I think, as are many, many other wonderful foods that you come know slowly, exploring and questioning, until the taste blossoms and you fall in love. Or at least in serious like. Really, people nowadays don't have time enough for relationships with their food.
I did not particularly like Salted Fish at first. But now? What can I say... What can compare with the unique taste and texture of this humblest of preserved fish created with mere salt, the loving rays of the sun and Father Time. Anyways, to celebrate the Salted Fish yet again, we have here another classic Chinese dish, Steamed Pork Patty, paired with the Chinese Salted Fish. Yummy, yumm, what a rice killer!
