Steamed Grouper Fish with Celery and Salted Vegetable Recipe

This is another super fast but tasty recipe that can be prepared in a ‘jiffy’. Grouper fish goes along well with salted vegetable and the soup is good till the last drop. I love to drink the spicy, sour and salty soup. I added some celery to give the dish extra greens and crunch. However it is ok to opt out if you don’t take celery.

Ingredients
Grouper fish, 1 table size
Celery, 2 stalks, cut into bite sizes
Salted Vegetable, 3 leaves, cut into strips
Pickled Sour Plum, 2 pcs, crushed
Carrot, 1 pc, cut into strips
Ginger, 5 slices, cut into strips
Garlic, 3 pips, chopped finely
Olive oil or any vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon

Put the fish in a steaming tray and arrange all the ingredients on top of it. Steam the fish at high heat for 25 minutes. Garnish with Chinese Parsley and serve while still hot.

Without the pickle sour plum, the taste just not as good. I love this dish.

I think this is known as "cheu chow ching" style. Which is also a popular one.

My fav is still steamed fish in plain soy sauce or with lots of ginger.

I love grouper and steamed fish... but why 25 mins? My mom used to tell me steam fish for 10 mins(according to size)... scratch head!

Have a lovely morning!

Caroline : Can add cili padi if you want it to be spicy

Manglish : Mmmm, good idea, next time I try capsicum...

Alice : If the fish is big or out from the freezer not too long, I will steam it for 20 to 25 minutes. If caught fresh or properly defrost, 10 to 15 minutes is ok.
