Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Very flavorful. Made a peanut sauce using peanut butter because we didn't have actual peanuts but I bet it would be even better with ground peanuts on top.

    This is crazy easy and awfully delicious! The secret ingredients-classic Taiwanese garnishes of cilantro and peanut powder (a mixture of sugar and crushed peanuts) elevate the flavour of the fish to new and amazing levels. Big hit in my family who are fans of anything peanuty. I will be making this one again.
