Christmas would be just around the corner. 4 month is not a long time actually. I have decided to take charge in cooking when we want to make open house this Christmas. So I come out with the idea that majority of my dish will be steam based. There are a few steam recipe which I'm very good at and some are my own creation. But most of the dish have been taste my a lot of people. I like to have some new idea to bring the element of surprise. Does anyone here have a special steam recipe?

You better try some fish pellet with small sliced ginger,sliced onions and carrots. When it was already steam cooked add some mayonnaise.I wish you would make my idea and have a happy holidays!!!!

Mayonise added at the steam fish.. Hhmm... That is refreshing.. Never had I ever done that. I usually add ginger, onion, garlic, shallot, lemon grass to the fish I steam, but never had I put carrot. It just made me wonder how it taste with carrot and eager to add to my steam fish in the future.

I usually steam fish or chicken. I just put it in a foil with different herbs. Rosemary and basil works great, then just add pepper and salt. If you'e from the Philippines, you can try tilapia or lapu-lapu. You can also just use garlic, onions and ginger. It works great with both chicken and fish too.

I like steamed Tilapia. I'm from Malaysia and we had a lot here. I also reared a few Tilapia at my grandfather pond but I seldom catch them. The black Tilapia taste better than the red tilapia. At first I wonder what is Lapu-lapu. Then I made some research and found out that is was a grouper fish. We at Malaysia call that Kerapu. I like it steamed as well but it taste better when deep fried. Talking about those fish already made my mouth watering.

The only part of a traditional British Christmad dinner which is steamed is the Christmas pudding. This is a very rich dish made with a large quantity of dried fruits, sugar, flour and other things. Here is one traditional recipe, though there are many variations on the ingredients. My mother's recipe included grated carrot: http://www.waitrose.com/home/recipes/recipe_directory/t/traditional_christmas_pudding.html This pudding is steamed for a very long time (typically 6 hours and then for a further 2 hours to reheat it before serving). It is often brought to the table decorated with a sprig of holly and doused with brandy which is set alight as it is brought into the room. It is usually served with brandy butter (butter blended with sugar and brandy until creamy and then chilled till firm). Tradition says that it should contain one (or more) small silver coins. Those who receive a coin in their portion are said to enjoy luck and wealth in the year to come.

A christmas pudding for Christmas. That is very good idea. I will surely try. I have seen how Jamie Oliver made Christmas Pudding on Food Channel and it does look good. I've seen a lot of ingredient use for making this Christmas pudding and some I might have trouble in Malaysia. But I will surely try in the future.
