Steamed Fish (Chinese Style)

Steamed seabass, with no cook sauce, made with chillies, scallions, coriander leaves, ginger, and lime juice.
Tender fish is topped with a no-cook chili, scallions, coriander, and ginger sauce, creating a delicious Chinese-style steamed fish. Steamed fish is naturally healthy, and the spicy no-cook sauce adds even more benefits. Steaming is simple, making this an easy recipe to try at home (THAI STYLE STEAMED FISH). 

Various types of fish can be used, but some of the best are red snapper (ikan merah), white pomfret (bawal putih), grouper (kerapu), mackerel (tenggiri), and tilapia. For this recipe, seabass (kurau) is used, with tender, flaky flesh that takes on the sauce beautifully.

Steamed fish should be served immediately. A whole fish is ideal for a family meal. Featuring beloved Chinese tastes (CHINESE STYLE STIR-FRIED BEANS) or Malaysian flavours, also known as steamed fish with scallion and ginger sauce, it is truly mouthwatering.
