Mom’s Baked Bass
Mom’s Chinese home cooking is the best, and everything I learned came from her kitchen 😀
Everything is adjusted by taste so there’s no real measurement. This is why according to mom, each dish comes out a little bit different.
Of course, with this cooking style, it’s a little hard to teach it. I have messed up my fair share of dishes, since fish sauce is super salty.
Chef Uy: How much do I add?
Mom: To taste!
Chef Uy: Oops. Man, this is soooo salty >__<
With mom’s cooking though (and philosophy on life), it goes on and everything can always be fixed.
