I gonna give you a few very nice recipes.


Hot and Sour Thai Soup




Ingredients:



4 oz (72 g) regular long-grain rice


5 cups low-sodium chicken broth


2 large Thai red or green chilis, seeded, deveined and
finely minced (Be careful when you handle the chili, avoid touching your face)


3 Tbsp rice wine vinegar


1 Tbsp fresh lime juice


Pinch granulated sugar


2 cups julienned Japanese white radish (a.k.a. pared daikon, which you can find in Asian food shops)


1 pound 4 ounces (half a kilo) of sea bass fillets, cut into 3/4" strips


3 Tbsp minced fresh cilantro



How to do



Boil 1 1/2 cups water in a medium saucepan, and add the rice.


Lower the heat and simmer covered for about 15 minutes (till the rice
is tender and all the liquid is absorbed).


Remove the rice from the heat, and keep it warm.


Now, in small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of the broth, the chiles, vinegar, juice and sugar, and set aside.


Then, boil the remaining broth in a large saucepan, and reduce the
heat to low.


Add the Japanese radish and simmer till it goes tender (for about 5 minutes or so).


Now add the fish and the chile mixture; and simmer for about 5 minutes, till the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.


Stir in the cilantro, and scoop one-fourth of the warm rice into 1/2-cup dry measure, pressing down gently until rice holds together.


Unmold into a shallow soup bowl, and repeat with the rest of rice, and divide the broth mixture evenly over the rice.

Enjoy!!

Salmon with Lemon and Capers

Salmon is a very populair food. Classified as an "oily fish", salmon is considered to be healthy due to the fish's high protein,
high Omega-3 fatty acids, and high vitamin D content.
Here comes a real nice recepie;


Ingredients



* 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets

* 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

* 1/2 teaspoon salt

* 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

* 8 lemon slices (about 2 lemons)

* 1/4 cup lemon juice (about 1 lemon)

* 1/2 cup Marsala wine (or white wine)

* 4 teaspoons capers

* 4 pieces of aluminum foil



Directions


Brush top and bottom of salmon fillets with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and rosemary.

Place each piece of seasoned salmon on a piece of foil large enough to fold over and seal.

Top the each piece of salmon with 2 lemon slices, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of wine, and 1 teaspoon of capers.

Wrap up salmon tightly in the foil packets.



Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Place the foil packets on the hot grill and cook for 10 minutes for a 1-inch thick piece of salmon.

Serve in the foil packets.
