Teochew Steamed Fish or Teochew Steamed White Pomfret is a favorite Chinese new year dish, and it’s best to serve while the Steamed White Pomfret is still hot.

Personally, if eating out, I’d never order this Teochew Steamed Fish. There are two reasons for that. One the White Pomfret can be pricey, two the Teochew Steamed fish (White Pomfret) is an easy recipe that I wouldn’t want to have when eating out.

I got the fresh Pomfret from AEON Supermarket, Mid valley by accident. As I was walking around the fish aisle, I saw this tiny white pomfret. And I thought I’m going to make this delicious fish soup noodle that I’ve been looking forward to making.

Then, as I was looking for the other fish, I realized four medium size white pomfret fishes look fresh, and it’s going to make a tasty Teowchew steamed fish. Besides, the price was not steep too. I got these three fishes for about RM9 per piece.

I still remember a few months back; I bought the frozen version about RM45 per piece, the weight was 400-500g. So, I think with these three fishes I got it on a bargain because it’s weight more than 500g.

Teochew Steamed White Pomfret will be cooked together with other sides such as soft beancurd, salted vegetable, tomatoes and straw mushroom. The soft beancurd and tomatoes are delicious to eat with the fish soup.

So, I hope you guys are going to love my Teochew Steamed White Pomfret. Hook me up if you have made it. Let me know by commenting on the youtube video.
