Quick & Easy Restaurant Style Nyonya Steamed Fish (Tangy) Super Easy Recipe for Beginners

Nyonya or Peranakan cuisine is a mix of influence from the Chinese and Malay cuisines. Peranakans are descendants of early Chinese migrants who settled in parts of Malaysia, particularly Penang, Malacca and Singapore, inter-marrying with local Malays and combines Chinese, Malay and other influences. Some of them also settled in Indonesia. Compared to a typical Chinese steamed fish, Nyonya steamed fish is prepared with a twist of tanginess which is very refreshing. Feel free to increase the intensity of tanginess if you like so.

This dish is extremely suitable for Chinese new year, if you don't have kids in your family. Even if you have, just reduce the amount of chilli used so that this steamed fish can be child friendly too. Also, if you are serving this for special occasion, steam a whole fish rather than fish fillet.

Hope you can recreate this yummy dish in the comfort of your home. Thanks for dropping by our channel.
