-Gail Shimizu BWHT68A
2 lb Whole red snapper or
-white fish
1 t Galanga -- finely chopped
1/2 tb Lemon grass -- *
6 Medium fresh red chilies
2 tb Red onions -- chopped
1 tb Preserved soy beans,
-(Tao Geo Kao)
1 tb Fish sauce (Nam Pla)
1 t Kaffir lime leaves
-thinly sliced
1/2 c Basil leaves,
-(Thai basils preferred)
(Thai Steamed Fish with Basil)
* Sliced thinly-crosswise (use the base only, about 2
or 3 inches from the
root)
DIRECTIONS: Chop coarsely--the Galanga, lemon grass,
onions, chilies and soy beans in a blender or food
processor (add a tbsp of water if necessary). Wash,
clean and pat dry the fish well. Cut 3-4 deep slits
crosswise on both sides and cover with the spice
mixture pushing the mixture into the slits. Place the
dressed fish in a platter deep enough to accommodate
extra liquid when the fish is cooked.
Place the platter in the steamer. Sprinkle basils and
Kaffir lime leaves. Place 2 pieces of paper towels
over the top but not on the fish to catch any excess
moisture while steaming. Cover and steam over high
heat for 20 minutes or until fish is fully cooked.
Serve immediately with cooked rice.
NOTE: All the listed ingredients can be found in any
Thai grocery stores.
