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 makes Chinese-style fish and chips with roast sweet potato chilli chips and Gong bao haddock goujons
Ingredients
For the haddock goujons
1 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
1 tbsp peeled and grated fresh root ginger
1 small spring onion, finely chopped
340g/12oz haddock fillets, cut into strips
1 tbsp crushed dried chillies
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp white pepper
100g/3½oz dry breadcrumbs
100g/3½oz plain flour
2 free-range eggs, beaten
groundnut oil, for deep-frying
For the gong bao sauce
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tsp crushed dried chilli flakes
1 tbsp cornflour, mixed with 2 tbsp cold water, to thicken
To serve
roasted sweet potato chips

Method
1. For the haddock goujons, mix the Shaoxing rice wine, grated ginger and chopped spring onion together in a shallow bowl and add the fish strips. Cover with cling film and leave to marinate in the fridge for 20 minutes.
2. Mix the dried chillies, sea salt and white pepper together with the breadcrumbs in a bowl, then tip onto a plate or tray. Dip the marinated strips of fish into the flour, then into the beaten egg, then roll in the seasoned breadcrumb mixture. Pat lightly to secure the breadcrumbs to the fish, then shake off any excess. Repeat with all of the fish strips.
3. Quarter-fill a wok with groundnut oil and heat until a small cube of bread dropped in sizzles and turns golden-brown in 15 seconds. (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.) Add the fish goujons in small batches and deep-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden-brown, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Repeat with the remaining fish goujons.
4. For the gong bao sauce, heat all of the sauce ingredients together in a small saucepan, and, if necessary, thicken with the cornflour and water mixture. Remove from the heat and transfer to a small bowl or ramekin for dipping.
5. To serve, pile the fish goujons onto a serving plate and place the bowl of gong bao sauce on the side. Serve immediately with roast sweet potato wedges
