Steamed White Pomfret (Bawal Putih)

You must agree with me. I insist you agree. Wouldn't you agree steaming is healthier compared to frying?. Of course. Steaming is also simple. Add all the ingredients, steam and dish is ready. However, remember that steamed food must be eaten immediately. Otherwise, it will become mushy and bleh-bleh. Today, I'm going to share with you on how to make this steamed white pompret. Indeed a Chinese style cooking (Fried Shrimp Wanton & Chinese Prawn Fritters)  and white pompret definitely is the better half of black pompret for steaming. White pompret suited for also frying whereas set aside  black pompret for curries, sambal dishes and right, you can fry as well .
