Thai Style Steamed Fish

something Thai


This is a very simple but yet very appetizing dish. I cooked one fish with this recipe for lunch and I still have another one fish in the freezer. Most probably will cook the fish with this recipe again because the taste was so good. If you like Thai food, you can not resist this dish. I am salivating now.....

Steam one fish for ~10minutes(depending on the size of the fish). Meanwhile, melt 2tbsp sugar in 2tbsp fish sauce, 2tbsp asam juice and 2tbsp lime juice and bring it to boil. Remove from heat and mix in 2 stalks lemongrass, 8 shallots, 1 red chili , 2-3 bird chillies, small bunch of Chinese coriander. All of the ingredients have to be finely chopped. When the fish is ready, remove excessive water and serve it with this marvellous thai sauce. Garnish with Chinese coriander leaves.

    I will try it out one day. The lemon grass at my garden is growing very slowly. Yen Tei.
