Undomesticated Happiness: Fish Fillet with Cheese Sauce

Making packed lunch is a very tedious task. Imagine cooking before going to work. You cook, then you pack, then drive or commute and after that you work for 8+ hours. Exhausting!

But really, where can you get homecooked meals at work? The office vendor sells "carinderic" (read: oily and barely touching the plate) food mostly loaded with salt and MSG. First, the food is bitin that I think I need 3 servings to get full. And second, the serving size is not worth the price. Grrr!

Thank God Yummy released a Baon Specials issue! The recipes are easy to make and takes little prep and cooking time. Another good thing is that the recipes do not have a long list of complicated ingredients. The things you need are readily available in your pantry!

Time to cook and pack your lunch! Tip: Cook the night before you go to work. Or if you're like me who work at night, cook in the morning. This way, you're not too sleepy to cook or too tired to work after.

Fish Fillet with Cheese Sauce
from Yummy Magazine

2-3 pieces of fish fillet (I use cream dory)
2 tbsps flour
2 tbsps butter
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup quick melting cheese
2 tbsps cheese spread
salt and pepper
spanish paprika

Cut each fish fillet into 3 pieces

Season with salt and pepper on both sides

Heat your olive oil in your frying pan. I use nonstick pan so I don't have to use too much oil.

Fry your fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side.

Prepare your cheese sauce.

In a sauce pan, put your flour and let cook for about 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn your flour.

Add the butter and cook until it melts.

Slowly add the milk and water while stirring continously.
