Ingredients for Steamed Barramundi with Soy Sauce For 2 pieces of fish

How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh barramundi
- Fresh barramundi are fish that are still swimming vigorously, with clear eyes, shiny scales, bright pink gills, and no strange marks on the skin.
- You should choose fish that still have some elasticity when you press on the body with your hand, not mushy or leaking water.
- Avoid buying fish with peeling scales, slimy gills that are turning gray, and those that have a fishy or slightly sour smell. These are signs of fish that are spoiled and decomposing.
How to choose and buy dried wood ear mushrooms
- Delicious wood ear mushrooms are those with large, thick ears, and few small mushrooms at the base. They have a dark color, slightly shiny on the top, and a light coffee color on the underside of the ear.
- Avoid buying mushrooms that are too black, as these types will become mushy when soaked in water and will be less crunchy. This will make the dish less tasty when prepared.
