Whenever I miss home, I start to crack my brain thinking of all the dishes that mom makes at home. There are so many great dishes that she makes at home that I would like to sample them all, but this is gonna take me a while to cook so many of her great dishes. Eventually, I am gonna have a great collection of all the dishes that she has been making.
Fish in salted soya bean sauce is very simple and it goes well with boiled rice. Salted soys bean/Taocuare, which have been salted and fermented and sold in small bottles. They give good salty flavour to Chinese sauces.
My mom usually uses either red or grey snapper fillet. Any kind of white fish with firm flesh will be suitable to make this make dish. I used whole Seabass.
What a healthy dish. It looks delicious great recipe!
Hi I just saw my link on your page, it’s Jeena not Jenna 🙂 Thought I’d let you know. Thanks 🙂
[jeena] Thanks for your comment! So sorry for the wrong spelling! I have corrected it!
greetings from another Malaysian! Just want to tell you that I love your photos. And this fish dish was certainly one of those that mom used to make for us! I like it that you removed the fish head. I alway feel a bit guilty eating its flesh when the dead fish is staring at me. :p
[Mandy] Thanks for dropping by! Nice to know another Malaysian food lover out there! This dish is simple and delicious and what matters most is it brings back some good memories!
Nostalgic indeed. I love this dish. My favorite fish is white pomfret, best!
I love this dish – the combination of salty soybean, ginger and green onion are so lovely, aren’t they? My mom makes something similar using steamed whole fish.
[rasa malaysia] I love Pomfret too. But it’s not a common fish over here.
[holy basil] Steamed whole fish sounds good to me!
