"Steamed" Lady Fingers

I love fast & easy meal without much cleaning after meal.

I baked the 2 dishes in a preheated oven at 180 degree C for 20mins. Voilà! My dinner is served within 1 hr including preparation time. :) 


1. Lady Fingers with Fried Garlic: 
One packet lady fingers - cleaned & cut the ends. 
One sheet of aluminum foil enough to wrap the lady fingers. 
1 tbsp water
Fried garlic for garnishing
Soya sauce
Preparation steps: 
1. Place the lady fingers in the middle of the foil & add 1 tbsp water. Wrap it up. 
2. Baked for 20mins. 
3. While baking the vegetables, minced some garlic & fry them in a pan with some oil until golden brown. Set aside. 
4. After 20 mins remove the lady fingers from oven. Garnish with light soya sauce, fried garlic & some oil from garlic before serving. 

2. Sambal Fish : 
Fish fillets - I used tilapia fillets 
Premix sambal paste - refer to picture above. 
Aluminum foil 
Preparation steps : 
1. Placed the fillet in the middle of the foil, add 2 tbsp of the sambal paste on the fish & wrap it up. 
2. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degree C for 20 mins. 
3. Remove from oven & serve with rice. 

Bon appétit ! 

Chin's notes :
1. All baked in single session. At the end of 20 mins both meat & vegetable are ready to be served with rice. 
2. Cleaning was easy too. :) 
3. I will start to cook my rice when I start preheating the oven. 
4. Alternatively you can steam the lady fingers in the rice cooker while cooking the rice. Or steamed the fish on a steamer.

  1. brilliant idea ... what I'll try tonight is to put the fish and ladies fingers together in a single foil packet, throw in some tomato wedges, and pour the sambal over it. Probably top it off with some thinly sliced purple onions. I have the exact same packet of sambal so thanks for this great idea for a quick dinner.
