Malaysian Fish With Pears
Description
This elegant Malaysian-inspired dish features delicate white fish steamed with Bartlett pears, creating a harmonious blend of sweet and savory flavors. The fish is bathed in a vibrant sauce made from lemongrass, ginger, garlic, and chile-garlic paste, balanced by the brightness of rice vinegar and the depth of soy sauce. The pears add a subtle sweetness and tender texture that complements the flaky fish perfectly. Serve over steamed rice to soak up the delicious sauce, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime.Ingredients
