Steamed whole fish; steamed barramundi or sea bass with preserved mustard greens (梅菜清蒸鱸魚 / 蒸石斑)

清蒸魚

DishAny time

“Any time at all. Keep your stomach warm.”

What the tradition says

The tradition holds that this is 上奶 (fish being a standard 發奶 food) and that it is light protein, easy to digest. [CLINICAL, low to very low certainty] The galactagogue evidence base is weak and the most evidence-supported lever on supply is effective, frequent milk removal with lactation support. 上奶 / boosts milk supply is a therapeutic claim and cannot be used on an Australian food.
