These two dishes represent what I think is cantonese favors quite well - steamed oily fish (some sort of small silver fish?) with black beans and soy, and pea spouts in dried scallops and tofu sauce. Both are strong on umami, one from fresh fish and one from dried seafood. Made by H
this is not *fusion* food. this is the truest sense of locavorism, the principle behind all great cuisines. you cook based on whatever you can get your hands on around you - in this case, stuff in the fridge... cooking for 2 people can be a bit tricky. you buy a box of olives because a certain recipe calls for a few. but what to do with the rest? K buys grocery and cooks based on recipes. H uses whatever that is left in the fridge, and improvises.
