a) Ma who cooked for us was too quick to add sugar and fish sauce while we were not filming. You can add sugar and fish sauce after the fish is cooked.

*This dish don't require fresh sea bass. It can be cooked with other fresh or frozen fish like cod fish, pollock etc. aside from the usual Thai options.
