Teochew Steamed Fish

Teochew Steamed Pomfret Fish

Recipe by Trish yee
You can find steamed pomfret fish in any Teochew porridge places. It is a almost like a soul dish of Teochew cuisine. The fish is dressed in seasoning sauce that is packed with distinct flavours coming from the salted mustard and plums. My favourite pairing will be with a hot pipping bowl of porridge!
