CHINESE STEAMED FISH
INGREDIENTS
Directions 1. Clean & Stuff: Clean your fish, pat dry. Season generously inside and out with salt and pepper. 2. Julienne the scallion and ginger and set aside. Give the cilantro a rough chop and set that aside as well. 3. Combine the soy sauce, salt, sugar and water into a small bowl and mix well. Set that aside. Carefully lay your fish out onto a heatproof plate. 4. Steam: Add 2" of water to your large pot, cover and boil. Cover and steam for about 10 minutes. You can check it for doneness by using a butter knife. If it easily cuts through to the bottom of the plate, your fish is done! 5. Turn off the heat. Carefully remove the plate from the pot and drain any remaining water off. Spread the cilantro and about one third of the scallion (use the green portions), directly onto the steamed fish. 6. Heat a small saucepan to medium to high heat and add 2 tbsp of canola oil. Add the ginger and let it brown lightly, about a minute. Then add the rest of the scallions. The mixture should be giving a good sizzle.Take it off the heat and spoon the entire mixture over the fish. 7. Serve immediately! |
