Cooking Tips

• Make sure to use fresh barramundi fillets for the best flavor and texture.
• You can substitute other types of white fish, such as cod or snapper, if barramundi is not available.
• If you don't have a steamer, you can also use a bamboo steamer or a metal colander placed over a pot of boiling water.
• Be careful not to overcook the fish, as it can become dry and lose its delicate texture.
• Serve the dish with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.

Storage and Serving

• This dish is best enjoyed immediately after cooking.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, gently steam the fish until warmed through, or microwave it on a low power setting.
• Serve the leftovers with fresh lime wedges and additional soy sauce, if desired.
