shyc Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Indeed that fish had thousand and one bones but the flesh is rather sweet tasting. Used to be a childhood fave in our house. Simply crispy fried like you but serve with a small dish of dark soya sauce with a smash up red chilli as dipping sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to cook these but always end up over cooking and the freshness of the seafood is lost. May I ask, again, Friendly, how to cook so that it's not overcooked? Say, steam for 2 mins is it?

Friendly Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Never buy frozen gong gong always buy live ones from wet market.. and never put the gong gong in water and boil.. My dad..taught me how to cook gong gong.. Its a live sea shell..so you need to boil some water.. make sure the water is boiling hot and throw in the gong gong , cover the pot and let it boil for one minute and off the fire. Remove immediately from the water and its good to eat.. I like to dip it in chilli padi pound with garlic and add a little plum paste... Love it.. twdpenang and Willy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
