steamed thai-style sea bass and rice

Love this dish so simple, easy to prepare, a simply unflappable dish, I am attempting it for a staff lunch, 16! of them see if I am unflappable then LOL

Great recipe, my authentic Tom Kha Gai recipe would be a get starter for this. It's on my blog at http://mybigfatblog.co.uk/authentic-thai-chicken-coconut-soup-recipe-tom-kha-gai/

Hi,<br /> <br /> I'm looking forward to trying this recipe! Does anyone know if I make the paste the night before and leave it in an airtight container, will it be ok to use the next day for dinner?<br /> <br /> Thanks!

just perfect! even my 23 month old son ate it! fish was a little bland and will season better next time. the rice just perfect and really tasty! loved it!

This meal was soooo tasty and soooo easy to make, i would recommend anyone try it. I even impressed myself and my partner said it was pretty spectacular.<br /> I can't wait to try it again for friends.

3 words - Yummy! Must try!

I have cooked this several times and is easily my favorite dish. I think it works best with Sea Bass rather than cod (I've tried both). Sea Bass becomes infused with the Thai flavors in the steaming. I've also mixed king prawns into the rice before cooking...beautiful. Make sure you use Sugar snap peas and baby corn. Gives the dish an amaxing texture.

Hi Jamie,
Just been online to pick up a few ideas to cook for my boyfriend tonight. I'm in his bad books and food usually cheers him up!!!!
Thankx for the amazing selection of recipes,
wish me luck

I made this for a mid-week supper last night. Fabulous recipe, amazing flavor and with so little effort! My partner said I could 'do this again' so undoubtedly it was a hit with him too.

Fabulous recipe and so easy.! Couldn´t get any Sea Bass here in Lanzarote so used local ´Cherne´ (meaty white fish) instead and it was gorgeous as well as being very healthy! :-) Love the rest of the recipes too.! Andrea x

Made this for the family, tasty tasty!!

A bit too spicy for the kids right enough but that can easily be cut back next time.

Easiest fish cooking I've done.

WOW!!!
This is soooooo yummy, and really easy!!
My nan has been giving me cooking lesson and it was finally time for me to cook for her and my grandad. It went so well...i really enjoyed cooking it, but not as much as i enjoyed eating it!!! Thanks xx

Did that the other night - beautiful!!! Best thing: you can prepare everything in advance (until "then cover the dish tightly with tinfoil ") - once your guests have arrived and you serve the starter, chuck the dish in the oven and leave it in there for 20 minutes.

Cant wait to have a bash at this next time I land a bass!

I made this last night for my girl-friend and she was really impressed. Why? 1) Because I haven't cooked anything other than scrambled eggs for her for more than 2 years 2) The deliciousness of the recipe 3) The apparent complexity of producing thai food.

Actually, it was simple to make and took less than an hour from start to finish. The only change I will make next time is to steam in the oven for another 2-3 minutes, this is probably due to my oven door not closing properly.

I can not wait to try this thai dish, I love fish and thai food but never tried anything like this. I think the jasmin rice is a great idea, also wonder where would you get corriander root? beautiful rescipe . Thanx, Also ,My husband is Italian and the family is coming over for christmas, they usually have fish christmas eve, i 'd like them to take the habit to come to us at christmas time as i have children and Santa, What fish dish could i cook to impress. they are from a village close to Rome . Thanx x

Tried this dish tonight and was gorgeous!

Please help I have fallen in love with a dish I had at a resturant and would love to cook it myself but as I am not that great in the kitchen I need a recipe to follow and cannot find one on the internet.
It is grilled skewered salmon with sweet chili and mandarin glaze I know I can buy sweet chili sauce where do I get mandarin glaze from? also how long to marinate? how long to cook? as you can see I am a real novice but would love to attempt this dish

Dear Jamie,

So lovely to see lots of recipe with 'Thainess', as a Thai myself, may I add some idea. Here we normally use coriander root in paste to get that lovely aroma while stalk and leaves are saved for garnish. With Thai styled fish, perhaps it might worth try it with Jasmin rice (or locally known as Hom Mali).

By the way, by watching your 'Eat to Save Your Life', my partner and I were shocked by the truth and it really put us back (or at least trying to) to better and healthier eating. Thanks
