Steamed Fish Teochew Style

I personally like Teochew-style-steamed fish because it is easy to make, and there is always some extra side ingredients to munch on. Check it out.




Ingredients:

500g Bassa fillet

50g Chinese shitake mushroom

25g Scechuan pickled mustard green

50g soft tofu

Heaps of ginger

1 tbsp fish sauce

2 tbsp light soy sauce

Pepper and salt to taste


Method:
1. Slice the fish fillet into small pieces (usually a whole fish is used, but it is up to you). Slice the mushroom into thin shreds and the tofu into desired proportions.
2. Finely slice the ginger and mix well with the fish slices. Add pepper and salt to taste.
3. Rub a bit of sugar into the mushroom before mixing with the fish.
4. Arrange on a bowl or plate. steam for about 10-12 minutes (about 15 for a whole fish). Done, serve hot.

Note: Ginger is the main supporting ingredient in this dish, don't try to skip it bacause you do not like ginger, it wouldn't taste as nice.
