Braised Squash: Fish Mixture
2 to 3 pounds Chinese squash
3 to 4 tablespoons oils
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sherry
3/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
Chinese parsley

1. Prepare the fish mixture (from the Edit Tap, click to open recipe and follow instructions).

2. Cut squash in 3/4-inch slices and spread each evenly with the fish mixture.

3. Heat oil. Add squash, fish-side down, and brown lightly over medium heat.

4. Meanwhile combine soy sauce, sherry, water and salt. Add to pan and bring to a boil. Then simmer, covered, until squash is tender (20 to 30 minutes). Garnish with Chinese parsley and serve.

VARIATION:
* In step 3, instead of pan-frying squash, deep-fry, fish-side up, basting with hot oil until golden. Then pick up step 4.
