Steaming fish was a little bit tough as I don't own a big cover (I have a big pot but not wide enough). I'm sure you just need to make it smaller to fit in the pan/pot. I love the texture of the steamed cake. Very moist and fluffy. I can totally see this is addicting. The entire cake won't last too long in my house...

You can always try my other version which only took 2 hours 45 minutes but of course you can shorten the length of steaming (I cheated that by steaming just 2 1/2 hours!).
