Steamed Barramundi with Chinese Ham – 火腿蒸鲈鱼片

The smokiness of the Jinhua ham heightens the subtle sweetness of Kuhlbarra’s barramundi fish. The steamed barramundi fillets are juicy, flaky and simply just melts in your mouth. The splash of hot oil before serving binds the flavors and gives it a smooth finish. The taste of the fish, ham, mushroom and bamboo shoots in one bite is a burst of flavour that explodes to tasty goodness.
