So here is how it looks like after steaming. The last picture in the previous post was after all the preparation. Oh gosh I can't describe to you how delicious this is! Especially the fact that I am craaazzzyyy over steamed fish. Go and try guys! Great to cook for last minute family gathering moments.
Hey there readers of my blog (if any lol)! Today will be the first time I am posting an original recipe of mine. Unless there is a similar recipe out there, might be purely coincidental coz I did not refer to any recipes online for this recipe.
I am never a fan of cooking fish as I can be a little bimbotic about the fishy smell. Lol. But when I do, it's fillet dory. No bones, no guts, and no scales. Haha. Got that for $5 for 2 packets, so that's 6 fillets from Giant Hypermart. I wanted to cook something else today but the rain just wouldn't stop. Thus, I had to stay home and use whatever ingredients I can find at home.
Ingredients:
2 Dory fish fillet (or any fish you prefer)
1 Lemongrass (sliced)
2 cloves of garlic (chopped)
2 teaspoons Knorr tom yam paste (1 tsp for each fish)
2 stalks of spring onions (chopped)
4 bird's eye chillies sliced (2 chillies for each fish)
3 inches worth of ginger (sliced)
4 kaffir lime leaves (sliced)
2 teaspoons light soy sauce (for each fish)
1 tablespoon sesame oil (for each fish)
Instructions:
Wash your fish and then smother them with the tom yam paste, front and back. Place the fish in aluminium foils (2 separate ones as the ingredients mentioned are for 2 servings). Take half of the sliced ginger and place it on the fish, and sprinkle half of the chopped garlic. Same for the spring onions, lemon grass and kaffir lime leaves, separate them into halves and then sprinkle them on top of the fish. Last but not least, your chillies. You can use normal red chillies if you do not like spicy food. Ohhh I loveee spicy.
Now pinch the sides of the foil to make it into a boat like structure to ensure the liquids do no flow out of it when steamed. Now you add in the 2 teaspoons light soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in both foils above all the garnishing. Now cover up the foil like a tent and not resting on the fish. Steam it for like 12 to 15 minutes, and it's ready to eat. YES IT IS THAAAT SIMPLE! NOW GO AND TRY ALREADY! :)
