Pomfret is a prized fish by local fishermen because locally caught pomfret fetch a good price. I am wary of buying imported pomfret (bawal putih) because they a normally laced with preservatives. Pomfret is one of the easiest fish to cook and it defrost easily due to its’ slim body. Steaming the fish is the fastest way to cook it; therefore this is one of my favourite fish in my list whenever I go to the market. Ingredients
Pomfret, 3 to 4 fishes, cleaned
Garlic, 3 pcs, chopped finely
Ginger, 4 to 5 slices, cut into strips if you like
Preserved plum, 2 pcs, crushed
Ham Choy (Preserved salted vegetable), 2 leaves, cut into strips
Tomato, 1 pc, cut into four
Salt to taste, (Note I did not add salt because salted vegetable and preserved plum is already salty)
Arrange all the ingredients in the steaming tray. Steam in high heat for 25 minutes and serve with white rice!
