Salted Fish or Ham Yu is one of the ingredients that's really nothing alone but when combined with ingredients like pork or veggies, it is absolutely divine. My brother-in-law who is a Taiwanese gave me this precious ingredient (brought them from Hong Kong) and so, I cooked one of my favorite Cantonese dish (not necessarily a Singaporean dish...). Roughly ground pork with cubed pork fat, minced ginger, corn starch, Chinese sake, white pepper, salt, light soy sauce and a bit of sesame oil. Top this off with ham yu and it's ready for a steamer. Steaming at a slightly low temperature of 80 degrees for 15 minutes. Top with julienned ginger and wow, I could eat tons of bowls of rice with this! I will try claypot rice and sauteed veggie next time.
I first discovered this Cantonese dish at a fabulous and legendary cze char restaurant on Joo Chiat Rd. called Joo Heng. They are known for a Cantonese cze char but some of the things are intrinsically Singaporean. Sambal Belacan is always on the table and their sambal stir fried stuff is absolutely my fav.
