Not just any fish but a SEA BASS. Heard from Mom that it's not as fatty as other kinds of fish out there. I could cook a traditional Burmese (Is it even Burmese? We usually eat these kind of home cooked dish in Myanmar. But I've never seen anyone eat something like this outside of Myanmar.) dish, like the one my aunt used to cook: Spicy sour fish with white rice.
Well, it's just
1) White rice
2) Sea Bass with
3) 3 spoonful of Ngapi (Burmese ingredient, wiki here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ngapi) and
4) Tamarind (better and healthier than most artificial flavoring the supermarket sells) blended with water,
5) 2/4 spoonful of seasoning powder (3,4,5 rubbed onto the fish first for flavoring purposes)
6) 1/4 spoonful of salt (coz Ngapi is already quite salty)
7) Chilli and garlic pounded together (Smells so nice *_* )
8) And all cooked together on boiling water.
I could use a glove when I pound the chilli and garlic together. It'll not only save my poor hand from getting hot, but also make the process a clean and healthy one. About the ingredients packaging, I can always pack them in small little bags with the exact amount and throw the bags away when I've used the content inside. It's fast, convenient and tiny. Also, while the 3,4,5 flavoring is done, I can always start washing the plates I've used instead of piling them up til I'm done with the whole cooking process.
It's exciting. XD
