Recipe: Huiji Steamed Fish

by Mummy's Kitchen

The last couple of weeks have been very hectic, with my mum in hospital and my son enlisting to the army, we needed to nourish our bodies and the Huiji Waist Tonic collaboration came at just the right time!!

We love the freshness of the fish cutlets and the delicate taste of the herbal gravy. The premium herbs that are in the Huiji Waist Tonic can help to ease backaches and lower back pain. It can also combat fatigue, rheumatism and insomnia. Its health benefits include enhancing blood circulation and nourishing vital energy.

Mummy's Kitchen

Hi! My name is Josephine Go. I blog at BeyondNorm.com in a segment called Mummy’s Kitchen. I love to use fresh and natural ingredients in my cooking to promote healthy eating. Some of my recipes may not be in line with the traditional methods of cooking to the extent that some of the ingredients are different, but hopefully new recipes are being created in my style. I certainly hope that what I do will help guide kitchen first-timers on how to cook their first meal as well as further equip kitchen veterans with new recipes. My loving husband and two wonderful children are my best guinea pigs and critics. They have enjoyed (or endured) the food that has been served to them for all these years. Mind you, I did not know how to cook or ever knew that I could cook till I got married. So there is hope for everyone. If I can cook, you can cook. You will not know how good or talented you are until you put your hand in the plough.
