Ingredients
- 2.2 lb fish tilapia
- 5 1/2 tbsp lime juice
- 5 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp palm sugar chop to measure
- 10 cloves garlic minced
- 10 Chilies to taste
- 1/3 cup Coriander chopped
- 2 coriander root
- 1/3 cup celery chopped
- 2 talks of lemongrass cut into 2 or 3 pieces
Instructions
- Make sure the fish is cleaned and gutted. Create 3 to 4 diagonal incisions on each side of the fish to allow even cooking. Fill the fish’s abdominal with lemongrass.
- Steam the fish for 10 to 15 minutes. Adjust the time based on the fish’s size.
- Pound garlic, coriander root, and chilies with a mortar and pestle. Add palm sugar, fish sauce, fresh lime juice and mix into 1 sauce.
- After steaming, transfer the steamed fish to a serving dish and top with the sauce. Garnish with coriander and celery. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
- Thai chilies can be spicy, adjust the amount of chilies to your heat tolerance.
- Not so fond of steaming a whole fish? Use fish fillet instead.
- Serve with jasmine rice.
