About the Barramundi

The local barramundi fillets I used were from Sasha’s Fine Foods. The flesh is firm with large, white moist flakes with a sweet and buttery flavour which I really love. The best part is they are caught locally at a sustainable hormone and antibiotic-free aquafarm, Singapore Aquaculture Technologies (SAT) – where water quality is monitored and water is naturally filtered, treated and oxygenated, ensuring well-defined conditions for stress-free growth.

About the preserved radish (chai poh)

Use sweet chai poh, not the salty type. This is the brand I got from Sheng Siong and I see that it is also available on Redmart:

And now for the recipe…

Chai Poh Barramundi (Asian Sea Bass) (budgetpantry.com)
Serves 2-3

What you need:

2 pieces barramundi fillets (about 400-440g)
1 packet sweet preserved radish (chai poh)

1 red big chili or chili padi, chopped
Handful of corriander, chopped
1 teaspoon oil

For the sauce:
200ml water
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 teaspoon cooking wine
1 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

Preheat airfryer for 5 mins at 180C. Or prep your wok/steam oven/steamer for steaming.

Heat the oil in a pan. On medium-low heat, add preserved radish and sugar and fry till fragrant. Add the minced garlic.

Boil all the sauce ingredients and set aside.

Airfry the barramundi for 7 minutes. Top with sauce, chai poh, chili and corriander and serve immediately. (Optional: Heat up 2 tablespoons of oil in a small pan till sizzling. Drizzle over entire dish before serving.)
