STEAMED FISH WITH LIME AND CHILE
This is the definition of minimalist Thai cooking. The steam not only gently cooks the fish until just tender but also creates an instant, complex sauce from a handful of basic ingredients. Scoring the fish's flesh allows more of the flavor to season the fish and facilitates faster steaming. The fish is cooked on a plate that fits inside the steamer, to catch the juices.

STEAMED LEMON CATFISH WITH VEGETABLES AND RICE
Everyone laughs at me because I think hospital food is good. Well, it's good if it's hot and it really depends on what it is. This is one of my favorite things the hospital fixes. I was surprised in the best way the first time I was served this. It was deeelish! Thanks to my dietitian, I can make this at home. Evidentially, she does too because the recipe was already scaled down for me!
