Steam Fish - The Easy Way

You probably know now that I cook dinner at times even though I work.  After more practice, it has become easier now as we try to decide what we want to eat on weekdays on the weekend before.  I am writing this down, partly to be able to look back at what I have cooked during this period or even how I manage to pull everything off in years to come.  It is also partly to encourage full time working mums - to let them know that it is not an impossible feat to have home-cooked dinners on weekdays.

With a fresh sea bass, it is not difficult to cook a steam fish as good as that in restaurants, at probably 1/3 or 1/2 the price.  Served with a soup or vegetable and rice, it will make a healthy and balanced meal.

We bought this seabass during our trip to Ah Hua Kelong.  Read about our adventure here.

1.  Place ginger slices in a deep plate.  Place fish on top of the ginger slices.
