Home Cooking: Steamed Tilapia

I was craving for fish today, but the one they have at the cafeteria was too oily for my mood (my not-too-oily-fish-today mood).  So, I ended up having chicken breast stuffed with assorted vegetables. Of course, I woudn't let go of my fish craving. So, I thought of cooking one for dinner.


I went to Rustan's Glorietta to buy tilapia fillet (this is the only branch I know that does fillet when you buy a whole fish). I had the fillet with the skin on because it would keep the fish intact after steaming as fish becomes flaky when cooked.

One of my lazy cooking tricks is steaming fish while cooking rice. I just put on the double broiler attachment on the rice cooker just as I start cooking rice.

As for the fillet, I place them inside a plastic container as I don't want the fish juices mixing in with the rice that's cooking underneath. I find the juice a little bitter tasting.

I just put on slices of garlic, onions, and ginger on top of the fillet. Season with salt and pepper. When the fish is cooked, I take it out the plastic container and put in on a plate (draining off the juice). Sprinkle with spring onions.

Then, I heat up a few tablespoons of peanut oil until the pan starts to smoke. Pour the hot oil over the fish. You'll hear a nice, crackling sound. Finish it off by pouring in a few tablespoons of soy sauce.

Quick and simple, yet flavorful. Maybe I should do more research on  steamed dishes that can be cooked along with the rice.
