Steamed Coconut Thai Fish

Steamed Coconut Thai Fish

serves 4
cooking time 10 minutes

This dish is quick and easy to prepare. I had planned on making a curry, but after picking kids up from tennis lessons, helping Oliver with homework and trying to put together a Super Hero costume for Zach, I wanted something that was quick and easy, but still had the flavours of a good Thai curry. I served this with my coconut rice ( see blog for recipe ).

Ingredients

1 stalk lemon grass finely chopped
1 teas red curry paste ( store bought )
1 tbs brown sugar
1 tbs fish sauce
1 tbs fresh coriander chopped
1/3 cup coconut milk
2 tbs lime juice
4 / 200g white fish ( I used cod fillets )

Method

Place all the ingredients except for the fish in a bowl and mix well to combine.
Place fish in a shallow bowl that will fit inside a bamboo steamer, or steamer of your choice.
Cover the fish with the curry sauce.
Put the steamer over a wok or saucepan with boiling water and steam for 10 minutes.
Serve with extra coriander and lime wedges.

There are some really good store bought curry pastes, however some are hotter than others, taste the sauce before placing it over the fish.If its to hot add a little extra coconut milk, or if its to mild add some more paste. Remember your palate is the best judge!!!!
