Steamed fish is one of the quickest, healthiest ways to enjoy authentic Thai flavors at home. Light and naturally rich in protein, it pairs perfectly with Watcharee’s Thai curry sauces—bringing bold, vibrant flavor to your table in minutes with no complicated prep.

Simply serve with your choice of curry—Red, Green, Yellow, or Massaman—each offering its own unique balance of herbs, spices, and creamy coconut richness. Prefer a plant-based option? Substitute with tofu for an equally delicious, vegan-friendly dish.

Ingredients

• 1 jar Watcharee’s Thai Curry Sauce (Red, Green, Yellow, or Massaman)
• 1 lb fresh fish of your choice, cut into small pieces (or fish trim)
• Optional: firm tofu (for a plant-based substitute)
• Optional: scallions, sliced
• Optional: bell pepper, diced

Directions

1. Fill a pot with 1–2 inches of water and bring to a boil. Place a steaming rack or basket inside, making sure the water does not touch the fish.
2. Place fish (or tofu) on a heatproof plate. Add optional scallions and diced bell peppers on top for extra flavor.
3. Carefully place the plate into the steamer, cover, and steam over medium heat for 10–15 minutes, depending on thickness, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
4. Carefully remove the plate and pour off any liquid released during steaming to keep the flavor clean and concentrated.
5. Spoon or gently pour your choice of Watcharee’s Thai Curry Sauce (Red, Green, Yellow, or Massaman) over the fish.
6. Steam for 1–2 more minutes to heat the sauce through, or heat the curry sauce in the microwave for 1 minute and pour over the fish.
7. Garnish with fresh herbs and chili if desired. Serve immediately with jasmine rice or noodles.
