    It was really strong on flavour but a bit harsh for me. Next time I will try using orange instead.

    I found this to be a bit hit-and-miss. For those who do not have a bamboo steamer I can recommend the "Thai-style steamed fish" (in a foil parcel) which basically has similar ingredients and is just as healthy :-)

    For an amazing meal make the fish with spring greens, lemon, chilli and ginger as above but skip making the sauce and accompany with the rice from Heidi Swanson's Sushi Bowl: http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/sushi-bowl-recipe.html I love the rice from this but making the rice and frying the tofu is far too time consuming - accompanying with this fish is the best of both worlds!

    Wasn't very happy with this dish. Might have been the spring greens I used, but it seemed to give the fish a bitter taste. Didn't mind the sauce but it was quite strong for the other subtle fish flavours. I served with thai rice which the sauce was nice with. Wouldn't make it again. Shame cos it looked fab, just like the picture!

    Fish was lovely but did not enjoy the spring greens but will try it with rice instead :)

    Delicious! I didn't realise how satisfying it would be. Will make again.
