Lee K*m Kee Seasoning Soy Sauce for Seafood is a great seasoning to have in your kitchen, especially if you enjoy Chinese-style cooking. It adds a savoury, umami flavour that complements the natural sweetness of fish and other seafood.

🐟 How can you use it?

✨ Steamed Fish: Drizzle over freshly steamed fish with ginger and green onions for a classic Chinese-style dish.

🦪 Steamed Clams: Use it as a seasoning with garlic and ginger to enhance the natural seafood flavour.

🍜 Seafood Noodles: Add a little to fried noodles or seafood stir-fry for extra savoury goodness.

🥢 Dipping Sauce: Mix with a little sesame oil, chopped green onions, or sliced chili to create a quick dipping sauce.

Chinese Steamed Fish with Ginger & Green Onions

Ingredients

* 1 whole fish (about 500–700 g), cleaned
* 3 tablespoons Lee K*m Kee Seasoning Soy Sauce for Seafood
* 1 thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger, thinly sliced
* 2 green onions, cut into thin strips
* 2 tablespoons cooking oil
* 2 tablespoons water, if needed to adjust the sauce
* A few sprigs of cilantro (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the fish.
Rinse the cleaned fish and pat dry. Make 2–3 shallow cuts on each side to help it cook evenly.

2. Add ginger.
Place half of the ginger inside and on top of the fish.

Place the fish on a heatproof plate inside a steamer. Steam over boiling water for about 10–15 minutes, depending on its size and thickness, until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily.

4. Add the seasoning.
Carefully remove the fish. If there is a lot of liquid on the plate, drain some of it. Pour the Lee K*m Kee Seasoning Soy Sauce for Seafood over the fish. Add a little water if you prefer a lighter sauce.

5. Add green onions.
Arrange the remaining ginger and green onions on top of the fish.

6. Heat the oil.
Heat the cooking oil until hot, then carefully drizzle it over the ginger and green onions to release their aroma.

7. Serve and enjoy!
Garnish with cilantro if desired. Serve immediately with steamed rice and your favourite vegetables.

Have you ever tried Aleppo pepper? If you love adding a little spice to your meals, this is one seasoning worth discovering!

What is Aleppo pepper?

Aleppo pepper is a chili pepper traditionally associated with Aleppo, Syria, and is widely used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking. It has a beautiful deep red colour and a rich, fruity flavour with hints of sweetness and a mild, earthy tang.

Unlike some extremely hot chili peppers, Aleppo pepper usually offers a moderate heat that builds gently. It adds warmth and depth to your food without overpowering the other ingredients.

Hot Aleppo Pepper Garlic Chicken

Ingredients:

* 500 g boneless chicken thighs or chicken breast
* 1–2 tsp hot Aleppo pepper
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 2 tbsp olive oil
* 1 tbsp lemon juice
* 1 tsp paprika
* 1 tsp soy sauce
* ½ tsp salt, or to taste
* ¼ tsp black pepper
* Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine Aleppo pepper, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, soy sauce, salt and black pepper.
2. Add the chicken and mix well until every piece is coated with the marinade.
3. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
4. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for about 5–7 minutes on each side, depending on its thickness, until golden brown and fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 74°C (165°F).
5. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro and serve hot.
