Firstly I should apologise for the dearth of posting over the last week or so. I've been feeling unwell since Sunday (which was entirely my own fault and due to the vast quantity of wine consumed on Saturday), but when I was still horribly poorly on Tuesday I realised that I had probably just done my usual and got myself run down. Scarily for me this usually precedes a chest infection so I've been doing my utmost to heal myself. This has meant lots of rest, fluids and fairly simple food.
Today I've worked from home and in a final bid to kill or cure, I made my stock healing meal. Fish, cooked in sherry, soy, chilli, garlic and ginger with pak choi and brown rice. It's not particularly posh and neither is it difficult, but it feels insanely healthy and the simplicity of it really does appeal to me when I'm unwell.
All I do is splash some sherry in a bowl, and add 2 grated cloves of garlic, lots of grated ginger, and 2 whole red chillis chopped up. I then add lots of soy sauce to this and just taste to check how it is.
I then line a baking tray with foil and place on this the pak choi (stems/ leaves/ technical term anyone?). On top of this goes the fish (I used salmon today as that's what I had in) and then the soy/ sherry mixture is poured over the top. I then close the foil up tight to make a parcel and bake it in the oven for about half an hour. While this is cooking I boil the rice (yes, still doing rice a la Delia - it's faultless so I see no reason to change).
Et voila! A big bowl of simple, healing food. This plus an early night, will hopefully sort me for once and for all!
