Ingredients

1 Sea bass or any other fish

2 tablespoons Tom Yam paste

4 tablespoons Sweet chilli sauce

250 grams Lady’s fingers/Okras

1 slice of Pineapple

2 Tomatoes

2 Lime

2 Lime leaves

1 teaspoon Cooking oil

4 small bowls of Water

Preparation

Remove scales & inards from fish if it's not done for you. Rinse & set aside.

Slice off the top & end of Okras. Cut Okras into halves & Tomatoes into wedges. Slice Pineapple into cubes.

Squeeze lime into chilli paste (tom yum + sweet sauce). Throw in the lime skin as well & mix well. Since it was my 1st attempt, I bought some cheap chilli paste to experiment with in case I don’t succeed :)

Thai Heritage Sweet Chilli Sauce (S$1+), Holly Farms Sambal Tom Yam (S$3+). If you can’t find these brands, you can use any brand of sauces that is a little spicy & sweet + tom yam paste.

Heat oil. Add chilli mix, vegetables & stir-fry. Add water, cover & simmer for about 1 min.

Add pineapples & water. Simmer for another minute. Put in fish & let it simmer for about 5-7 mins. Do not overcook or fish will not be tender.

Tip: Insert toothpick into fish. Fish is cooked if toothpick pierces through easily. Dish out your fish & place the serving plate on a warmer to retain its temperature. Drizzle the sauce over a plate of fragrant rice & enjoy. You'll never get enough of this Thai-style Seabass!

About

The 1st time I tried this spicy, sweet & sour fish was at a Zhi-char (煮炒) stall near my home. Zhi-char stall is a modest stall that’s found in coffeeshops where Chinese home-style dishes are cooked to your order.

After that, I knew I had to try making this at home. And I did it, with just one attempt! Hooray! Hubby was full of praise; what more do I need…

Now, I’m gonna show you how you can cook this too, in under S$10 & you don’t need to be a pro to do this.
