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.

  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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.
