How I made Thai steamed barramundi fish (Ikan Siakap) with lime and garlic (Pla Kapong Neung Manao)

long-grain rice

🥗Healthier: brown rice

💰Cheaper: white rice

Brown rice is more nutritious, while white rice is often less expensive.

vegetable broth

🥗Healthier: homemade vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water

Homemade broth is healthier, while water is a budget-friendly option.

peas

🥗Healthier: green beans

💰Cheaper: frozen peas

Green beans are nutritious, while frozen peas are often cheaper.

Prepare the barramundi fish by cleaning and gutting it if necessary.

Chop the garlic and prepare the Cili Padi and coriander leaves.

In a bowl, mix the chopped garlic, Cili Padi, Thai fish sauce, lime juice, and palm sugar to create a marinade.

Stuff the barramundi fish with lemongrass and pour the marinade over the fish.

Place the fish in a steamer and steam until cooked through.
