Here is a little fish dish that really came out great.  This is all about using leftovers from another dish.  The sauce here is what gives this dish a different flavor because of the rich beef and soy bean combination.  Vegetable ash is another element that gives more depth to this dish. What is vegetable ash you say?  Well basically you take any vegetables that have natural sweetness or high sugar content to it like onions, carrots, parsnips, etc... and you completely burn them to a crisp.  You take those ashes and you grind them up into a powder.  On its own it taste like ash but when you add it to a protein or other elements it gives a smokey flavor that absolutely transforms the ingredients.  It is a great little "trick" to adding flavor and depth to a dish.   Here is the recipe I hope you enjoy it!
