Steamed Whiting with vegetables and glass noodle

I've been asked to add more posts and photos about cooked fish, so there we go, this is my first post in a series about the way we eat fish in my home.
Most of these meals would have been prepared by my lovely little wife, I will try to add my own stuffs into the series, but I'm too much of a lazy bastard at home so be patient :-D
So for this first post, lets start with a simple recipe. We don't have a name for it so lets call it the "Steamed Whiting with Vegetables and Rice Noodles", that sounds like those dishes in a chinese restaurant, doesn't it?

First, scale and clean your freshly caught whiting. As this is a family meal and the fish will be covered with other items, presentation is not primary so we'll cut the tails and fins off, it will be easier to handle while eating.

In a container, pour some hot water and put in some glass noodle and leave it to expand for about 30 minutes.

In another container, prepare some fish sauce with a bit of sugar and stir to dissolve, we usually don't have exact measurement so taste your sauce before carrying on, you can add a bit of water to tame the saltiness of the fish sauce a bit.

Then find yourself a container that can go in the microwave oven, we will be using a glass one. Put some onion slices and spring onion slices and add your whiting on top. Pour over the sauce you have prepared earlier. Cover with a mix of slices of tomato, slices of onion, slices of spring onion, slices of wood ears mushroom. Sprinkle some black pepper on top. You should start to smell a nice perfume now. Cover the whole thing with the glass noodle.

Air tight cover the whole container with cling film and cook in a microwave at max temperature for 5 minutes to max 7 minutes depending on the size of the whiting. Cooked too long and it won't be tender anymore.

Alternatively, if you have a proper steam cooker then use it.
