Cooking 101 - thai-style steamed fish

Photobucket

One of my favourite dishes. Its quite easy to cook but its full in flavour - sweet, sour, salty, spicy, all in one dish. Plus, I love the aroma of the kaffir lime leaves~! They always give an added zest to a dish.

Ingredients:

1 Onion
Lime juice
Kaffir lime leaves (crush it slightly to release the aroma)
Hot small red chillies (chilli padi - remove the seeds, otherwise your tongue will burn in pain~!)
Sugar
Fish sauce
Coriander leaves (for garnishing)

1 small barramundi fish (silver bream is a good alternative)

p/s: Not sure if it's exactly Thai-style but I tried to imitate the Thai restaurants to my best abilities.
