  2. Somehow our moms and aunts are so brilliant at simply cooked dishes. My aunt does the most delicious yet simplest fried fish dish - just fried golden brown served with a smattering of crispy slivers of ginger, a light sprinkling of the oil it was cooked in and a dash of soy sauce. So moist and tasty! And I can't never replicate it! :D
