  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon tomato sauce

  • 1 cup of water

Instructions

1. Prepare the Salmon:
   Start by finely chopping the salmon. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon with a little flour and form into small balls. Fry the salmon balls in hot oil until golden brown. Once cooked, drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

2. Blanch the Vegetables:
   Chop the bok choy, carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower according to your preference. Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the vegetables for a couple of minutes. This step helps to soften them and eliminate any bacteria. Drain and set aside.

3. Sauté the Aromatics:
   In a skillet or wok, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

4. Make the Sauce:
   Add the oyster sauce and tomato sauce to the skillet, stirring until aromatic. Then, pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil.

5. Season the Dish:
   Once boiling, add the sugar, salt, mushroom seasoning, and ground pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

6. Combine the Ingredients:
   Add the blanched vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry for a few minutes until they are just tender. Then, gently fold in the fried salmon balls and fish balls, allowing everything to cook together for an additional few minutes.

7. Serve:
   Once the dish is cooked through and heated, transfer it to a serving platter. Enjoy your vibrant Cap Jay with steamed rice or as a standalone dish!
