How to Cook Steamed Fish Chinese-Style

I've been getting lots of DMs on Instagram for steamed fish recipe (especially when I share pictures of the steamed fish that we have during Seafood Sundays). So, we made a recipe video on how to steam a whole fish with soy sauce, Chinese-style.

For this recipe, I have used a whole threadfin fish (also known as senangin or ma yau). The weight after gutting is around 500g. I recommend steaming a whole fish of this weight around 12-15 minutes... to test if it's ready, use a skewer or chopstick, and poke the thickest part of the fish and it should go all the way through easily. Happy steaming!
