Its the best Thai cooking vid's i have seen. I tried the Steamed fish with Lmon Sauce/Green Curry and the Chinese Broccoli its come out perfect .My 28 visits to Thailand came in handy as to my point of reference with taste. My question is the Lemon sauce made with the Steamed fish the same sauce used as a dipping sauce when i have raw Veg in the local restaurants,Which most of the locals eat . It has the same look and taste or is it made differently.
i normally order this when we go to any thai restaurants and it is always really expensive...so i decided to cook it on my own using this recipe. i followed very closely, except for the pickled garlic and it was so delicious! better than restaurant's one, if i may add. thank you and pls keep those recipes coming! :)
I've made this multiple of times. Sometimes I used two fish cut in half, throw in some enoki mushroom and wrap in tin foil and steam. I eat 1 portion and freeze the other 3 portions to heat up and eat another day. So good. The sauce also last quite some time in the fridge. Thanks Pailin for the recipe. This is my absolute favourite❤❤
I made this 2 days ago, and my family loved it! It is THE BEST steamed fish with lime recipe. Today, I made your Cashew Chicken recipe, and it was another hit. Can't wait to try out your other recipes. Thanks to you, I can cook delicious Thai food for my family.
I love Thai food, I am addicted, and your channel has really opened my eyes to the amount of tasty dishes I have not tried yet. Can't wait to try this one, as I love a nice piece of fish, and sea bass is my favourite.
I couldn't agree more, it's my favorite fish dish of all time - I absolutely fell in love with this dish when I went to Thailand for the first time. And it's one of the first things I eat every time I come to Thailand. It's just so delicious.
I made a variation of this dish last night, cooking the fish in the oven wrapped in foil instead of steaming it, with torn kaffir lime leaves, chopped cilantro stems, chunks of lemongrass and a third of the sauce, then I poured the remaining sauce on the cooked fish. It was just slightly too lemony as I unnecessarily added the juice of half a yellow lemon to my lime juice because I thought there wasn't enough. Still, it turned out great. Thanks Pai. Another success with one of your recipes :)
I’ve tried it and it tastes exactly like what I’ve eaten at the Thai restaurant! Followed the recipe up to the Tee except for the pickled garlic and it’s delicious! Rather than me paying $20-$30 plus for this dish, it’s better I make it myself with all the fresh ingredients. Thank you for the recipe!
I am loving all of your recipes. I have been wanting to branch out and make other types of cuisine. ....But, it always seems you have to buy a lot of different ingredients to make just one dish. Your recipes are all different, but they use a lot of the same basic ingredients. Everything is very economical, which is wonderful when you are starting out cooking new dishes. I am getting hooked on Thai food. It's very filling without making you feel 'heavy'... very healthy. Thank you for sharing ...!
Yay! I'm glad you gave it a try despite your initial skepticism :) Honey is a great idea, I actually thought about that after the shoot as a substitute. I sometimes add beech mushrooms in with the fish myself. Congrats!
Hi! Thanks for your comment! If you want more liquid, you can add fish or chicken stock, but to maintain the flavour you have to make sure it is a mild flavoured, unseasoned broth. I would not use store bought stuff, it's best to make your own. And then increase the fish sauce and lime juice proportion as well since you're adding liquid. Good luck!
this recipe is soo tasty, i tried it using sea bass as i can not find barramundi fish, i just love the freshness of the lime and the combination of the ingredients are awesome. thank you for sharing the recipe.
What I love bout your videos is that you explain eng/thai words what they mean. I am gong to Thailand this year and I would hate to go their not knowing some of the language...thx
Love the way you break things down as you go, explaining every detail, very informative, fish looks very appetizing, will definitely try this, and by the way, I love Thai food.
It's always interesting to watch your videos....and this video is one of my best menu when I go to Thailand restaurants. Now I can make it by myself caused of you....thanks a lot❤
my girlfriend uses coriander instead of Chinese celery and turns out great, just made it couple of days back. Bumped into your page while looking for mackerel recipes, and we so going to try the mackerel red curry that you had cooked. Looks good! by the way a few lime wedges would top off this dish too. Also red Snapper is an alternate for barramundi, although I live in Aussie. Hope to try more of your recipes.
It's a steamer, although it's not specifically a fish steamer. I use it to steam anything. I got it from China town, you can probably find something similar in Chinese or Asian stores.
Excellent - and this is also my favourite Thai dish. It's good to see how relatively easy it is to put together so I'll try it tonight :-) Thank you very much.
Incredible! I was skeptical about the sauce, but not since I just ate it :) I used some honey as the sweetener and poached a filet of flounder in lemongrass. The fragrance and taste was amazing. I also threw in some sliced mushrooms in the poaching liquid. Served it all on a bed of broad flat noodles and it was heaven. The flavours in the sauce came together like you said. I'll be using this sauce again for sure!
Delicious! I can smell it from here ... .... If memory serves me correctly, this is the first "fishy" instructional video, hahaha! I love fish. Can't wait to see other seafood videos - especially crabs. Thank You and have a nice weekend.
You are absolutely brilliant! I can't wait to try your recipes. I've watched several of your posts and even not trying your recipes...I just know they'll be good. lol
Wow.... Thanks... I learned now how to cook this delicious dish. By the way, do you have a video in how to cook a deep fried barramundi and how to make its sauce with green mangoes?
Thanks so much for sharing the recipe! Just had mine today! It’s simply AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS 🙏😋😋 it really feels like I’m eating real authentic Thai Food! Surprisingly, the fish doesn’t have that fishy smell.. yeah I stuffed some lemon grass like u did😉 thanks again
Absolutely awesome and beautiful! The dish doesn't look bad either. Seriously though, love your cooking and this one looks particularly delicious, thanks!
+Johnny Hernandez Actually, she is a chef. She went to Le Cordon Bleu to receive formal training. From there she went on to become a chef at a restaurant before moving to TH-cam where her education and experience is what draws us in. She's very informative and definitely speaks like a Chef with experience under her belt.
Wow Pai. I really miss eating this dish. I feel lucky to have come across your page. It's been a year now since I had a proper thai food. I'm gonna be cooking this dish very soon. May I request the recipe of some of the sauce great for hotpot?

Thanks for the recipe …. May I know whether I should use kaffir lime or just normal lime? Thanks
Are you thai Americano? Your english is super good - I mean accent

After I finish eating sticky rice and chicken then I order this with beer 🍻 😊 life is good
Really appreciate you telling us why you're doing things a certain way! So much better than a plain list of instructions.
I've made this multiple of times. Sometimes I used two fish cut in half, throw in some enoki mushroom and wrap in tin foil and steam.

Congrats! I've done it with tilapia myself and it was equally delicious :)
I must have cooked this like 4 times already and I must say it's always wonderful. Thanks.
You are so smart with choosing the plate for the steam fish!! Thanks for sharing your insights and recipes!
I tried this and my guests loved it. So simple and appetizing. Thanks.

Cooking it again today but with 2 smaller seabass. 1 for my brother and 1 for the rest of the family. I am so loving this dish.

That was seriously bomb. Subbed the sugar with stevia & we practically polished the whole thing
GLAD I FOUND THIS SITE! ❤️🤗
Finally found fresh barramundi fish in the local supermarket and tried this dish last weekend, it was AWESOME!
Just made this with basa...amaazzinngg is d word...my hubby just kissed my hands....so quick n easy...thanks dear god bless u
im watching your vids just because of the distinct and very clear enunciation of the english language...your dishes just made it all perfect... ;)
Hi Pailin, I have tried your this recipe with just a barramundi fillet. The sauce is really excellent and appetizing. Thank you.
Cheers from Singapore
Great recipe. I remember in Thailand they used to serve it in a metal tray with votive candles to keep the sauce at the right temperature
Hi! Thanks for your comment! If you want more liquid, you can add fish or chicken stock, but to maintain the flavour you have to make sure it is a mild flavoured, unseasoned broth. I would not use store bought stuff, it's best to make your own. And then increase the fish sauce and lime juice proportion as well since you're adding liquid. Good luck!
this recipe is soo tasty, i tried it using sea bass as i can not find barramundi fish, i just love the freshness of the lime and the combination of the ingredients are awesome. thank you for sharing the recipe.
Someone get this gorgeous lady a ring!
Done! Though not by me :) ... and check out "Meet baby" hot-thai-kitchen.com/meet-baby-ama/
I love lime and garlic
I made this dish a few times already, never failed. My brother ate the whole fish by himself and asked for seconds.
I just watched another video with someone else & they added lemon grass inside too so I don't believe it's your trick... Nice video!!!
I got it from an Asian supermarket. Stores in Chinatown carry them too, wherever they sell steamers, they probably also sell the tongs.
What I love bout your videos is that you explain eng/thai words what they mean. I am gong to Thailand this year and I would hate to go their not knowing some of the language...thx
It's my favorite thai fish dish ❤️ I can finish that in one sitting hehe
I tried this at home..just loved it..its so perfect for summer😊
Excellent Pailin. You explained things very well. Thank you.
THanks for the advice about the gill! Another thing I don't like about the brazier is that it just keeps over cooking the fish...
Hi Pailin, i love your cooking actually i cooked this several times already. my family and friends loved it. I'm watching from Australia.
just made this recipe and WOW it was perfect - well done!! Keep the Thai magic coming
Zak Weil i

Seriously this is too good and such a classic and delicious recipe, I doubled the recipe and made it yesterday for a family gathering,it was BOMB! 😄
Barramundi is one great tasting fish and i had those in Darwin, AU. I've been to Thailand like eight times and i always order this dish...
my girlfriend uses coriander instead of Chinese celery and turns out great, just made it couple of days back.
Bumped into your page while looking for mackerel recipes, and we so going to try the mackerel red curry that you had cooked. Looks good! by the way a few lime wedges would top off this dish too.

The sexiest chef , hands down
Pailin love how u does explain the Thai language to English..
It's a steamer, although it's not specifically a fish steamer. I use it to steam anything. I got it from China town, you can probably find something similar in Chinese or Asian stores.
Great idea! Thanks for the suggestion!
Wow!!!
