Preparation:
1) Remove scales & inards from fish if it's not done for you. Rinse & set aside.
2) Slice off the top & end of Okras. Cut Okras into halves & Tomatoes into wedges. Slice Pineapple into cubes.
3) Squeeze lime into chilli paste (tom yum + sweet sauce). Throw in the lime skin as well & mix well.
* Since it was my 1st attempt, I bought some cheap chilli paste to experiment with in case I dont succeed :)
Thai Heritage Sweet Chilli Sauce (S$1+), Holly Farms Sambal Tom Yam (S$3+). If you cant find these brands, you can use any brand of sauces that is a little spicy & sweet + tom yam paste.
4) Heat oil. Add chilli mix, vegetables & stir-fry. Add water, cover & simmer for about 1 min.
5) Add pineapples & water. Simmer for another minute. Put in fish & let it simmer for about 5-7 mins. Do not overcook or fish will not be tender.
6) Insert toothpick into fish. Fish is cooked if toothpick pierces through easily. Dish out your fish & place the serving plate on a warmer to retain its temperature. Drizzle the sauce over a plate of fragrant rice & enjoy. You'll never get enough of this Thai-style Seabass!
