Ingredients
Instructions
Gut the fish and scrape off any scales. Then make four diagonal slashes on both sides of its belly, and in the slashes rub in salt, and then put the red chiles, ginger, and garlic in the slashes.
Steam the fish on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until just cooked (although cooking time will depend on the contraption used for steaming; be aware that it is very easy to overcook the red snapper).
Deep fry the chopped garlic in hot oil -- but not smoking -- for a minute, until brown. This is used in the end to sprinkle on the fish.
To make enough chile sauce for about four people, in a pestle and mortar pound or crush 10 red chiles, 4 cloves garlic, then squeeze in about 2 lemons, and mix. You can add a drizzle of water if you want the chile sauce to be less intense, and even a drizzle of Thai fish sauce.
