Chinese Whitebait, or some call it Silver Anchovies, or baby anchovies, even blue eye anchovies..
Anyway, it's those teeny weeny white coloured dried mini anchovies.
My late father loves this simple dish. My late grandaunt taught me how to make this.
Very simple to make:
Ingredients
50gm mini anchovies (rinsed and drained)
1 tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp light soy sauce
1 Tbsp cooking oil
1 Tbsp finely chopped red chili
1 Tbsp finely chopped garlic
Mix everything together and steam for 10 minutes or just put plate on top of rice when water in rice cooker is reduced.
hi hi!

It's dried ones found at the market.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen fresh ngan yu chai in Malaysia. Fresh Kong yu chai got la, but that's very big, 3-5 inches long.
I love this with porridge!

ReplyDeleteHehehe, I can eat a whole plate of rice with only this. Old fashioned dishes sometimes taste the best.
Never tried this with rice before. Will ask my mom to cook this for me next time I go home. BTW, she usu steam this plain and for garnishing and taste, she adds shallot, chilli and lime juice.
