Prepare your steamer. If you're using an electric steamer like me, place a baking sheet inside the steamer container and leave it overhangs on the sides. This is to make it easier to handle the fish when it's cooked. Place the fish inside. Put the lemongrass inside its cavity. Cover the steamer and steam for 15-20 minutes or until the fish is fully cooked.

When fully cooked, using the overhanging baking sheet, lift up the fish and discard any liquid. Place the fish in a serving plate. Pour the sauce on top of it and enjoy it with a bowl of white rice!
