Zhiyang Song

Steamed fish is my favourite meal. I like it because of the salty and fresh flavour. Steamed fish also contains a lot of iron and is filling. Every time I cook the fish, I think about my grandfather. I hope that one day I’ll be able to cook as well as him. Steaming is a typical Chinese cooking method that preserves the original flavour of the food while also being healthy.
