STEAM FISH WITH SOUR PLUM

My original plan was to make fish curry, but run out of curry powder, so I made steam fish. This is the first time I used fish fillet for steam fish. I normally used whole fish such as seabass, snapper or pomfret. Anyway it turned perfectly nice.

I used a Chinese cookbooks recipes that is highly recommended by Asian cookbook - Steam fish Teo Chew Style using sour plum. It's sour and sweet, very tasty and delicious!!!

Saya beli ikan jenahak untuk buat kari tapi di rumah kehabisan stok rempah kari, nak masak asam pedas kehabisan kunyit hidup dan masak lemak tiada cili padi, tiada pilihan lain terpaksalah saya kukus ikan ini. Sebenarnya saya tidak pernah kukus ikan jenahak, biasa kalau buat ikan kukus saya lebih senang guna ikan siakap atau bawal tetapi kali ini tiada pilihan sebab malas hendak ke kedai cari bahan, saya guna apa aje stok yang ada di rumah.

Resipi ikan kukus kali ini saya gunakan cara Teo Chew, pakai buah asam dan sayur jeruk. Resipi ini memang cukup terkenal di kalangan masyarakat Cina, Sedap juga rasa masam,manis ikan dan masin sayur jeruk. Sedap makan dengan nasi panas. Semasa menghidang taburkan sedikit daun ketumbar, cukup menyelerakan.
