Protein & Fibre for Everyone

Left tray: For humans. Right tray: For floofs.

It was time to steam up another batch of broccoli, pumpkin and carrots for the floofs. I decided to also steam fish for them. I didn't have time to go to the wet market, so to Meidi-ya it was for pure convenience. 

There were lovely fillets of threadfin (ikan kurau) and sea bream (tai). Got both trays of fish. Humans would settle dinner with these fish too. Tai stands up to being frozen better than kurau. But they would both do. The floofs would enjoy it. They do love fish, and by now, they have rather discerning tastebuds when it comes to fish.

The carrots, pumpkin and broccoli were done super fast and neatly placed into soft silicone trays to cool. They would be frozen. Some of those trays would be going out to a tiny floof. Choya wouldn't take that much broccoli or carrots. Her usual BOMBOM packs of food held enough fibre. For Choya, I mainly steam pumpkin to stock in the fridge. #ImpieCooks2025

For us humans, our steamed fillets were done with spring onions, salted plums, chillies and soy sauce. Ahhhhh.... the fish was gorgeous. Worth eating the skin too. I added a stir-fried kyabetsu with dried shrimps and fish sauce, and oyster mushrooms. We didn't need rice or noodles. So this was a rather filling high-protein low-carb dinner.
