EZCR#53 - FOO YEE STEAMED FISH

Fresh fishes are best cooked using steaming method. The only problem is which sauce goes well with the fresh fish. Of course, there are many common ingredients like tau cheong, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, black bean paste, tomato chilli sauce, salty sour wet plums and many more to choose from. Each has its’ own flavour and taste which are always good especially when the fish is fresh.

I am always on the lookout for various steaming sauces to steam fish and this one here is one of them which I tried recently. The steaming sauce is very easy to prepare.
