Cooking Instruction

How To Steam The Fish

• Preparing a perfectly cooked fish is easier than you think! 
• First, ensure that your fish is cleaned and ready by removing the scales and gutting it. 
• Next, create three diagonal incisions on both sides of the fish. 
• Take the top halves of some fresh lemongrass, bruise them gently, and stuff them into the cavity of the fish. 
• Finally, steam the fish over high boiling water for around 10-15 minutes (depending on the size of the fish) until it's tender and flavourful. 

How To Prepare The Sauce

• Start by heating the chicken stock in a saucepan until it comes to a boil. 
• Add in the sugar, reduce the heat, and continue to boil until the sugar has dissolved completely. 
• Then, pour the mixture into a bowl and set it aside. 
• Now it's time to add some flavour to the soup!
•  Mince some fresh garlic, chillies, and coriander and mix them into the chicken stock along with some fish sauce and lime juice. 
• Stir everything gently and give it a taste test to ensure the perfect balance of sourness and sweetness. Once your fish is steamed to perfection, transfer it onto a serving platter with raised edges to hold the soup. 
• Add a bed of coriander leaves on the platter and place the fish on top. 
• Finally, spoon the soup over the fish, making sure to add plenty of garlic and chillies on top for that extra kick. 

With these simple steps, you'll be able to savour a delicious, aromatic and healthy meal in no time. Don't forget to pair your dish with some steamed warm rice for the ultimate dining experience. Enjoy!
