Ching shows a fish buyer at the market how to make one of her favourite sauces of all time, black bean sauce, serving it with scallops and noodles.
Ingredients
For the scallops with noodles
75g/3oz dried vermicelli noodles
8 scallops, removed from the shells, de-bearded and coral removed, shells cleaned and reserved
For the black bean sauce
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2.5cm/1in piece fresh root ginger, peeled, finely chopped
1 red chilli, de-seeded, finely chopped
1 tbsp fermented salted black beans, washed and crushed into a paste (available from Asian grocers)
1 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
2 tbsp light soy sauce
3 tbsp water
To serve
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh chives or spring onions

Method
1. For the scallops with noodles, soak the dried vermicelli in a bowl of just-boiled water for 5-6 minutes, or until tender. Drain well, then chop into 10cm/4in lengths and set aside.
2. Place the cleaned scallops back into their shells.
3. For the black bean sauce, mix all of the sauce ingredients together in a bowl. Spoon a teaspoon of the sauce on top of each scallop and gently rub into the scallop flesh.
4. Wrap some of the soft vermicelli noodles around each scallop, then spoon one teaspoon of water around the noodles. (This helps to keep the noodles moist and works to create a sauce when combined with the steamed juices of the scallops.)
5. Divide the scallop shells between two heatproof serving plates and place each plate into a bamboo steamer, placing one steamer on top of the other. Place the steamers over a pan or wok of boiling water (making sure the water does not touch the base of the steamer), cover, and steam over a high heat for 4-5 minutes, or until the scallops are cooked through. If you do not have a bamboo steamer, place the shells onto a large heatproof plate set on a rack in a roasting tray. Fill the roasting tray with boiling water from the kettle. Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4, cover the whole roasting tray with foil and place into the oven to steam for 4-5 minutes.
5. To serve, serve the scallops in the bamboo steamers, or remove the plates from the steamer and serve on the plates. Sprinkle over the chopped chives or spring onions and serve immediately.

Ching shows a regular fish buyer at the market how to make hoki fish served with sesame soy sauce.
Ingredients
2 hoki fish fillets, membrane removed
salt and ground white pepper
3 tbsp groundnut oil
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2.5cm/1in piece fresh root ginger, peeled, finely chopped
1 red chilli, seeds removed, flesh finely chopped
1 tbsp of Shaoxing rice wine
4-5 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
2 spring onions, cut into thin strips (julienne)
1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
To serve
steamed rice or wholewheat noodles
steamed asparagus
steamed broccoli

Method
1. Season the hoki fish fillets with salt and ground white pepper, then slice into six equal-sized pieces.
2. Heat a wok until smoking and add the groundnut oil. Add the fish, pressing down lightly on the pieces of fish as they cook. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, then reduce the heat to medium.
3. Turn the fish over and sprinkle over the garlic, ginger and chilli. Cook for a further 3-4 minutes (depending on the size of the fillet), or until the flesh has turned opaque and flakes easily when poked with a pair of chopsticks or a fork.
4. Season with the soy sauce and sesame oil and spoon the sauce over the fish. Add the spring onion strips and chopped coriander and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the herbs have wilted slightly.
5. To serve, transfer the fish to a serving plate and garnish with the wilted herbs. Spoon over the cooking juices from the pan and serve immediately with steamed rice or dressed wholewheat noodles and steamed asparagus and broccoli.
