This recipe looks delicious, but I'm allergic to fish. Do you think it would work with chicken instead?

I thought this recipe was just okay. The fish was a little bland and the sauce was too salty.

I'm not usually a fan of steamed fish, but this recipe changed my mind. The fish was so tender and flaky, and the tofu added a nice textural contrast. The sauce was also very flavorful.
