Yen Can Cook ~ Stir Fried Kailan with Canned Fried Dace
This is another jazz-up-your-canned-food recipe that you shouldn’t miss other than the Fried Meehoon with Canned Stewed Pork that I shared earlier.
Canned fried dace with salted black beans, are you a fan of this? I’m a super fan of this intensely flavorful canned fried dace fish which is originated in China. It is best paired with porridge and steamed rice or as side ingredient to stir fry with vegetables such as today’s recipe with Kai Lan (Chinese Broccoli), Choy Sum, Yau Mak (Indian Lettuce) or even bitter gourd!
Ingredients (Serve: 3-4)
1 canned fried dace with salted black beans
2 bunches (350-400g) Kai Lan, cut into preferred size
3 cloves garlic, sliced/minced
50ml water
Sugar to taste
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step 1: Slightly shred or cut the fried dace in smaller pieces.
Step 2: Heat the wok and pour in the oil and black beans in the can. Add in garlic and stir til fragrant.
Step 3: Add in the fried dice (Step 1) and Kai Lan, stir to mix well. Add in water and let it cook for 1-2 minutes or until the Kai Lan is cooked. Add sugar taste.
Step 4: Serve.
HAPPY COOKING! #stayhealthy #staysafe






I also love fried dace…when I’m super lazy, I just throw them into a pot of cooked rice with some vegetables like sugar snap peas or choy sum (next time I can throw some kai lan in too…hehe) although (I’ve to admit) my choice won’t be this Eagle brand (I prefer some other China brand).
Kris, definitely would like to know your choices so that I can have more options when I purchase canned fried dace. 🙂
I haven’t bought canned fried dace in a long time. Just that dish alone with rice is enough for me!
PH, yeah, eat solely with plain rice or porridge is good enough!
