INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Fish Mixture below. Cut squash in 3/4-inch slices and spread each evenly with the fish mixture. Heat oil. Add squash, fish-side down, and brown lightly over medium heat. 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. FISH MIXTURE: Mince fish. Blend in the remaining ingredients. VARIATION: Add to minced fish 6 almonds, blanched and chopped; 2 tablespoons smoked ham, and 1 scallion stalk, both minced. From <The Thousand Recipe Chinese Cookbook>, ISBN 0-517-65870-4.
