Steamed Black Pomfret with Tomato, Chili and Ginger

Steamed Black Pomfret with Tomato, Chili and Ginger

Fish is one of the expensive dish to order when you dine outside. If you can cook this simple dish yourself, you can save cost and at the same time, eat healthily.

I bought the black pomfret at a discount ($0.89/100g), and as I am just cooking for 2 pax, I chose a small one (less than 300g). It costs less than $3 SGD. I am sure you can't find a fish that cost $3 if you dine out.

If you are worried about an oily and smoky kitchen, then you will definitely love this recipe. All you need is a steamer, or simply just stack the fish into the rice cooker and cook it together with the rice.

I love to eat steamed fish with plain porridge, perhaps because I am a Teochew (a dialect). I have added Tomatoes and Chili in this dish to add in a little sour and spicy taste. It helps to open up my appetite! =)

Hope that you will like this dish as much as I do!

Tips and Comments:

• Slices a few slashes on the fish body will help to ensure that the fish is easier to cook and also, increase the flavours of the ingredients in the fish.
