Cantonese-Style Steamed Fish
Ingredients
* 2 7oz white fleshed fish fillets(Chilean Sea Bass is my fav)
* Salt
* Shaoxing wine
* 1 large knob ginger
* 5 scallions
* 2 tbsp light soy sauce
* 1.5 tsp sugar
* 1 tsp sesame oil
* 3 tbsp warm water
* 3 tbsp neutral oil
Instructions
1. Season fish with salt and lightly drizzle Chinese cooking wine over the fish.
2. Peel and julienne ginger as thin as possible and slice a few pieces to lay on the bottom of the plate.
3. Cut scallions into 3 inch segments. Save 4-5 segments for the bottom of the plate and thinly slice the rest lengthwise.
4. Add the sliced ginger and scallion segments to the bottom of a plate and place the fish on top.
5. Steam the fish for 10-12 minutes on medium heat while you make the sauce by combining soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and water.
6. Remove the fish draining out all of the liquid and add the julienned ginger and scallions on top.
7. Pour the sauce over the fish and heat oil right before it starts to smoke.
8. Pour the hot oil over the aromatics and enjoy with rice.

The hot oil at the end MADE that dish folks..
Exactly the recipe I needed!! Thank you! 🌻
there is no lunar new year. 😂
Would be nice if I wasn’t allergic 😢
Thanks for putting the measurements in the description! Gonna make it tonight.
Is it really a lunar New year dinner without steamed fish? That's like having a cookout without sausages or burgers.
Il a versé le jus du poisson sérieusement🤷🏽♀️
What kind of steamer do you have?
This is beautiful! Saving to try on a future Fishy Friday. Thanks!
Can I know the quantities for the sauce ingredients? Thanks
Chinese don’t use sugar for steam fish. 😂 Please don’t teach people to use sugar for steam fish. 😂😂
Wow the look is sooooo delicious
Stop saying lunar new year. Its CHINESE new year.
Water is precious why throw away????😮
wait actually heating the oil with a ladle like that is so useful. Why have I never done that, that is insanely embarrassing HAHAHA
Removing all that liquid…..😢
Trying this right now! Looks amazing
Would this work in the steaming vasket of a rice cooker?
DELICIOUS YES PLEASE LOOKS AMAAAAZINGLY DELICIOUS AND I WANT SOME NOW PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE 🙏
Love how u heat up the oil in the laddle! Save washing a pot!
My goodness this looks amazing!!!! 👏
Your recipes are usually really good, but I can't believe you drained the liquid. Dude, that is the best bit! It makes the base for the sauce, where all the taste is. My dad is rolling in his grave
You’re fancy pants mode now
Love your videos! gonna look for chilean sea bass this weekend.
The main difficulty about this dish is the freshness of the fish. Looks super easy, until you realise fish that are not fresh will make this dish a disaster…
Ur my favorite short vid chef. I'm a sous chef in a 5 star hotel btw, and i just love ur vibe and how you simplify everything.
Is sugar necessary?
Thank you
Go to Chinese recipe: Soy sauce + MSG
But why drain all that flavour????
Where can I buy the tray he’s using? I’d hate Amazon or some cheap online site like and actually qualify wise good one
you dont season the fish for cantonese style, and you never pour soy sauce directly on the fish as a cantonese unless you want all the ghosts of your ancestors to jump from their graves
Saving!! Thank you!
This technique is first class. So easy, healthy, and clean. I've been using this technique for almost all my fish. Not just white
Brother dont use music, i am muslim cant watch ur content with sound, ur content is awesome.
Video idea: fettuccine alfredo
If you put out a cookbook id buy it, the recipes are so straightforward without skimping on accuracy, its all true asian home cooking style food and im amazed that you cover so many cultures so well, too many other food creators that do east and south east asian food bounce around and 'fusion' it or are literally cooking restaurant level food that is really not representative of what people actually make at home such as dishes like this
I'm adding chili flakes
I'll cook it for me and my mom tomorrow evening, even if I cannot find spring onions. Thank you!
I always make this using whole sea bass, would also add red pepper slices for color if feeling extra fancy. You can buy soy sauce made for steamed fish if you're lazy to mix your own. Lee Kum Kee is a good brand.
This is one of my favorite fish dish!😋
Looks absolutely deliciouse, can i swap the fish to salemon instead?
It’s bad luck to not have the whole fish!
Will frozen fish work
This is amazing! I love steamed fish
Can we have the demonstration using the whole fish?
Why not add the fish jus rather than the water
