Steamed fish with lemongrass

If you often steam fish with ginger and green/spring onions, you can consider adding THIS for a little more personality. Lemongrass gives that "Thai" kick. Definitely a milder kick than what Ong-Bak does :)

Since there are always slight imperfections in the other ways I cook fish, such as "white stuff" from grilling/baking salmon, "burnt flakes"from baking "cereal-crusted" fish, "miniaturization" from pan-frying a tandoori fish, and turning out "ugleee..." (though very tasty) when assam fish is in the works, it's best I stick to what I do best - steamed fish, but without the mushrooms this time.

It's that easy, isn't it ? Try adding lemongrass the next time you steam fish, and I'm sure you will love it too.

Hits and misses. My fish dishes have their misses, but there are hits as well
