Teochew Style Steamed Pomfret

My first experience steamed teochew style fish one year ago was not very successful.  This time the taste is just nice and whole family loves it so much.

Ingredients:

1 white pomfret about 500g

1 salted plum, lightly crushed and remove seed

1 tomato, sliced

2 dried mushroom, soaked and sliced

6 sliced old ginger, julienned

2 pinch salt

2 stalk coriander

2 stalk spring onion, sliced

1/2 box tofu

20g pickled mustard, wash under water and cut into small pieces

Marinade:

1tsp light soya sauce

2tsp chinese rice wine

Dash of sesame oil

4tbsp mushroom water from soaking mushroom

Method:

1. Marinate the fish with salt.

2. Mix the marinade

3. Line scallion ( bottom part of spring onion) and some ginger on a plate. Place the fish over the scallion and ginger.  Insert some ginger and some crushed plum in the stomach cavity of the fish.

4. Place ginger, tomato slices, mushroom, pickled mustard and crushed plum over the fish.

5. Steam using high heat for 10-12 mins. Garnish with coriander and spring onion.

Note:  If you see the eye of the fish pop out during steaming mean it is cooked and you can off the heat
