Steamed Pak-choy with Black Bean paste

Steamed Pak choy with Black bean paste

Inspired by the steamed baby Pak Choy I had at Yauatcha last week, I bought some Pak Choy from Foodhall and tried my version of the same. It was not as good as the one I had but considering it was my first attempt it was good.

Recipe:

Ingredients;
1. 4-5 Pak Choy
2. 3-4 Garlic clove
3. Spring onion (optional)
4. Black bean paste
5. Light Soya Sauce ( Preferably  Kikkomon)

Method:

1. Clean and wash the Pak choy and remove the outer leaves use only the tender part.
2. Chop the garlic and spring onion, mix it with 2 tbsp of Soya sauce, 2 tbsp of water  and Black bean paste. Take a big bowl and coat the Pak Choy with the mix.
3. Take out about 1/2 a mt of aluminium foil and arrange the Pak Choy neatly. Cover it well and place the parcel on the heat proof plate of the steamer. Steam for 10-15 mins.
4. Let the parcel cool for 5 mins and take out your best plate and serve hot :)

Yauatcha, Delhi- Michelin Starred Resturant

Food....good food and me are inseparable, I can go almost anywhere to have good food. Starting last Friday I have had a food filled weekend, which started with the Cheesecake @ Foodhall followed by a platter of Sushi at Sakae Sushi both in Ambiance Mall, Vasant Kunj   but the best food I have had in a very long time, was last saturday at this Michelin Starred Restaurant called 'Yauatcha' which serve modern Cantonese cuisine. My desire to have food at a Michelin Starred Restaurant ended at Vasant Kunj and I must say the restaurant and the food were better than expected. Located in 2nd Floor at Ambiance Mall in Vasant Kunj, the restaurant is very well located and by the time we left at 10 pm it was full. 

The food met my expectation and the service was also good. For starters we ordered  5 types of dim sums out of this I was most impressed with the Pak choy wrapped dim sum, Chicken and Prawn Shui Mai and the thin fish fillet wrapped dim sum, I can claim that I had the most amazing dim sum available in the whole country last saturday , the presentation was super good and the taste even better. The main course we ordered were also good, steamed baby pak choy in light oyster sauce  (I will try to replicate it soon) and french beans with Shaiitake mushroom in spicy black bean sauce (The mushroom was missing tough), 2 types of chicken, thin rice noodles and jasmine rice, for dessert we had Raspberry Delice which was mind blowing, the presentation was so beautiful that I didn't felt like eating it. . 

So if you are planning to experience gourmet food try 'Yauatcha', the price (inclusive of taxes) is a little steep but totally worth it (you may end up spending Rs 2500/- per person including drinks) , booking a table during weekend is recommended . 

My rating:

I will give Yauatcha 4 stars for ambiance, 4.5 stars for Food and 4 for service. The picture of the dessert is to motivate you to visit and enjoy the food :)

The combination momo's (Dimsums are popularly known as Momo's in India) with steamed spinach was really good, add a glass of sparkling wine if you want to make it more interesting.
