Teochew-Style Steamed Cod ??????

Teochew-Style Steamed Pomfret is something I often eat at home when I was young. I'm a Teochew, by the way. ;)



My husband has high cholesterol hence I try not to use Pomfret in my cooking. Since the kids love Cod a lot, I usually use Cod. This way, everyone will get to enjoy it and I don't have to prepare different dishes for different people, which is what I usually do.



I would love to use Pomfret here as the meat is fine and soft. If you do you have any restriction, go ahead to use Pomfret for the recipe.

Ingredients:

• 2 slice Cod


• 1 Tomato or 8 Cherry Tomatoes, sliced thickly


• 8 stalk Spring Onion, whites part only, cut into smaller sections


• 2 slice Ginger


• 1 leaf Salted Vegetable, about 2 tablespoon full when diced


• A handful Shimeji Mushroom


• 1 Salted Plum, pitted and cut into 4 pieces if sharing.


• 1 teaspoon Fish Sauce


• 100ml Water


• Some Wolfberries (optional)

How to do it:

1. Divide all ingredients into 2 portions.


2. Place individual portion separately in 2 plates.


3. Steam for 7 to 9 minutes depending on the size of the cod used.


4. Serve immediately.

Note:

• Shimeji mushroom can be replaced with the Fresh Shitake Mushroom or traditionally used dried mushroom.


• If using dried mushroom, rehydrate 1 to 2 mushroom before using.
