Simple Steamed Fish

We like fish. Steaming a fish is easy and it is good for the health.

Ask the fishmonger to chop off all the fins and sharp edges. Otherwise, you might hurt yourself when washing the fish.

Though the fishmonger has scaled off the fish, you still need to double check on it. Take a small knife and scrap off the scales that the fishmonger missed. Then, scrap off the blood clot that sticks to the spinal of the fish.

Slit the fish, front and back so that the fish will be cooked easily.

Flatten a few cloves of garlic and minced them. Put on the fish.

Add 1 or 2 tomatoes (remove the seeds).

Put the fish with the garlic and tomatoes to steam under boiling water for 20 minutes.

Add in soy sauce when ready.

Here are what we have for dinner:
1 steamed fish
1 plate of broccoli
1 plate of lettuce
1 big bowl of lotus root soup

And we eat mixed grains - brown, red and black rice.

Preparation and cooking time for the vege and fish is around 1 hour.

Simple yet delicious! And most of all, you don't have to worry about oily kitchen after cooking.
