Steamed Pomfret

Difficulty: Easy

Serves: 2 – 3 people

Ingredients:

• 4 Small Pomfret Fish
• 1 tsp Salt
• 2 Ginger (julienned)
• 2 Scallions (chopped)
• 3 tbsp Light Soy Sauce                  
• 90 ml of Fish Sauce
• 2 tbsp ELAIESE Red Palm Oil
• 1 tbsp Sugar
• Fresh Parsley (leaves) for garnish

Instructions:

1. To prepare the fish, rinse it and make sure that the stomach area is clean. Use a sharp knife to make 2 slits on both sides of the fish.
2. Sprinkle some salt on both sides of the fish and use your fingers to rub evenly. Insert the julienned ginger into the stomach area.
3. Put the chopped scallions and some ginger slices on the base of the plate. Lay the fish on top and put in the rest of the julienned ginger on top of the fish.
4. To make the sauce, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, red palm oil and sugar into a small bowl and mix well. Pour the sauce over the top of the fish and let it rest for an hour in the refrigerator.
5. Fill your wok with some water, cover and bring it to a boil. Place the fish on the rack, cover and steam for 7-8 minutes (depending on the size of the fish).
6. Once it is done, garnish with some fresh parsley and serve hot.
