Teochew Steam Pomfret

I have been too lazy of late, to cook and even more to blog. Hence, here's backdating the entry.  Teochew Steam Pomfret is a comfort food to me.  Yes, pretty expensive too, especially if dining outside.  For our family, I try to make it a point to buy small pomfret (usually cost ard $3-5) from the supermarket to pamper the kids and myself.  Note though, that pomfrets are high in cholesterol. 

Ingredients:
- 1 pomfret (sliced from the upper back on both sides)
- 1 ginger (sliced into strips and 3 pieces into slices)
- 1 tomato (diced into cubes)
- 1 plum (slightly squeezed)
- 1 garlic (minced)
- Pinch of salt (to spread over the fish)
-  Half cap Shaoxing Wine


Steps:
1. Set the wok up for steaming before working on the fish.

2. Placed the sliced ginger into the cavity of the stomach.  Placed the fish into a plate.

3. Scattered the diced tomatoes, plum and ginger strips on the fish.

4.  Drench the Shaoxing wine onto the fish.

5. Send the fish into the steamer and steam for 15 mins.



Happy Steaming!

Happy mum
