I don't measure so all my measurements are approx.
-4 2-3lb fish, scale and gut
-2 can straw mushrooms, drained
-3 small cans of bamboo shoots, drained
-3 small cans of water chestnuts, drained
-2 bunches of green oinons diced about 1/4 long
-2 heads of garlic, smash garlic out and cut up real fine
-2 long pieces of lemon grass, use the inside part and dice real fine
-ginger shredded or diced, about the size of a golf ball
sauce:
-soy sauce
-brown sugar
-curry powder-3 shakes
-salt-add last because the soy sauce is salty already
-tapatio or chalua sauce, up to you, i go until someone raises their eyebrows saying that's too much
-1 can of coconut milk
-juice from 2 limes
-white vinegar, add after salt and only a little at a time
Mix the sauce up, add the vegtables, taste and add different ingrediants till you get it right. Let the mixture sit for 15 min, I believe this blends the taste, the wif thinks I watch too much tv. This 15 min is perfect to make a drink.
Here's the drink-6 oz of grey goose
2 oz of triple sec
16 oz of crystal light grapefruit juice.
this counts as 1 serving
Back to the fish....spoon some of mixture in a pan making sure there's a thin layer covering the pan. Put the fish on the mixture and put some of the mixture in the cavity, put the rest of the mixture over the fish. Cover with aluminum foil. Put over a hot campfire/grill for i guess around 30-40 minutes? I just go by how it smells and looks. I'm usually on my 3rd drink by then so it's all a guessing game at this point. Remember it's better to go underdone then over done with this recipe. Let sit covered for about 5 minutes before eating.
After you get done here's what to do with the leftovers.....
seperate the liquid from the mixture and fish
remove all meat and skin from fish
dice all the mixture fine
add 1 teaspoon of mayo, 2 big tablespoons of sour cream
mix it all up and add a little remaining sauce at a time to thin the mixture. The consistency should be close to any commercial dip or spread. This makes for awsome dip.
Have fun with the recipe but don't take it too seriously, just go by taste.
