"Bloody" Steamed Milkfish With Tomatoes & Chili Garlic Sauce

“Bloody” is what my husband called this steamed milkfish with tomatoes and chili garlic sauce when he saw it. I’m addicted to my chili garlic sauce so I pretty much put it in everything these days, like the mussels Mussels, Lobster, Green Peppers, & Tomatoes In Chili Garlic Sauce Stir-Fry. Since I love tomatoes too, I figured it would add another dimension to this steamed fish.

When I bought this frozen whole milkfish at the commissary, really didn’t know what to do with it. A typical Filipino dish would’ve been just to fry it or grill. I wasn’t about to brave the weather outside to grill the fish so that was out of the question. Frying it was also out of the question because I know my husband would’nt like it that way. So I decided to steam it in the oven. My problem was, I don’t have a steamer for dishes like this. I have the one that came with the rice cooker and that’s just not big enough. Not to mention bad idea to steam a fish while cooking rice too. I’m assuming anyway.

So how did I solve this problem?
