Steam Fish
Ingredients
Serves 3
Cooking oil
Method
Make diagonal cuts on both sides of the fish. Bring some water to a boil in a wok, turn off the
heat and drop the fish in briefly; take them out almost immediately. Toss the fish with lemon
juice and place them on a banana leaf.
Heat a little oil in a pan, add ginger, garlic, curry leaves, onions and cili padi and stir together; stir
in soy sauce and oyster sauce (add water if it’s too thick), then pour the mix on top of the fish.
Cover with another banana leaf and steam for 10 minutes (the water must be boiling before you
start steaming). To check if the fish are done, poke the thickest part of the flesh with a chopstick –
it should penetrate the skin. Sprinkle with a bit more soy sauce, garnish with chopped coriander if
you like, and eat with rice.
