Description
🐟 Thai style steamed fish is a healthy, protein-rich dish bursting with fragrant lemongrass and fresh herbs.
🍋 The zesty lime and garlic sauce provides a perfect balance of sour, salty, sweet, and spicy flavors for a refreshing, satisfying meal.
Ingredients
– 2 cups of flour
– 1 cup of sugar
– 1/2 cup of butter
– 2 eggs
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon of salt
– 1 cup of milk
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 2: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3: Add the butter and rub it into the flour mixture with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Step 4: Slowly pour in the milk, mixing until a dough forms.
Step 5: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently for a minute.
Step 6: Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1 cm and cut into desired shapes.
Step 7: Place the shapes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 8: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 9: Let cool on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
🌿 Use bruised lemongrass stalks in the cavity to infuse the fish with aromatic fragrance.
⏱️ Monitor steaming carefully to avoid overcooking; fish is done when flesh is firm and opaque.
🌶️ Adjust bird’s eye chilies to control the spice level to your preference.
