Home-cooked: Simple Steamed Pomfret

What you need:

• Fresh pomfret
• Chilli, sliced (I used cili padi so it’s spicier)
• Ginger, sliced
• 1 1/2 tbsps soya sauce
• 1 tbsp Chinese Cooking Wine
• A dash of sesame seed oil

Place freshly cleaned and fully defrosted pomfret on a steaming plate. Scatter sliced ginger and chilli all over and under pomfret. Combine the pomfret with soya sauce, Chinese Cooking Wine and sesame seed oil.

Boil a wok of water. Once boiling, you can place the plate of fish in and cover with hood. Let it steam for 8 mins for small fish and 10 mins for bigger fish. Once done, turn off the fire and let the steam itself cook the fish for another few minutes. Serve immediately.
