Steamed Barramundi and Stir Fried Vegetables

Kerri was out tonight and I wasn’t sure what I wanted to eat, so I just picked things up as I wandered around the supermarket. As I was doing so, I realised I quite fancied vegetables and fish, so I ended up making stir fried vegetables and steaming some fish to go with it. I wandered up and down the fish counter and eventually chose barramundi (which came from here), because I don’t remember ever having it before.

I stir fried purple sprouting broccoli, thinly sliced red pepper, onion, garlic, ginger, spring onion and shitake mushrooms, adding some soy sauce, oyster sauce and Chinese cooking wine. The result was good but a little sweet; possibly too much oyster sauce. I marinated the fish in soy sauce, lime juice and garlic and then steamed it. The fish was good and remained moist, with the flavours of the marinade penetrating it almost well enough; could have done with some more time.
