fresh fish
🥗Healthier: tofu
💰Cheaper: canned fish
Tofu provides a vegetarian option, while canned fish is often more affordable.
Prepare banana leaves by rinsing and cutting them into large pieces.
Layer banana leaves in a steaming dish to create a base.
Clean and gut the fresh fish, then place it on the banana leaves.
Chop onion, garlic, ginger, and tomato, then mix them in a bowl.
Add coconut milk, lime juice, salt, and pepper to the bowl, and stir to combine.
Pour the mixture over the fish, ensuring it is well coated.
Sprinkle chopped green chili and fresh coriander over the top.
Cover the fish with more banana leaves to seal in moisture.
Steam the fish for 30-40 minutes until cooked through.
Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the fish with steamed vegetables on the side.
