Get more fish in your dinner repertoire with this super-easy steamed version of a restaurant classic.

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 spring onions (scallions)
2 x 200g (7oz) fish fillets (e.g. seabass, snapper or salmon)
4cm (1.57 inches) piece ginger, finely julienned
¼ cup light soy sauce
2 tbsp lime juice
3 tbsp vegetable oil
3 tbsp sesame oil
1 long red chilli, deseeded and sliced
steamed rice, to serve

Steps:

  • Step 1.Slice the spring onion lengthways into long, thin strips. Place the spring onion in a bowl of cold water and soak until ready to serve (slices will curl).
  • Step 2.To set up a makeshift steamer, choose a large, wide and deep pan with a tight-fitting lid. Fold and scrunch a piece of foil into a long snake shape. Then coil the shape to form a trivet. Place in the bottom of the pan.
  • Step 3.Place fish fillets onto a plate that is smaller than your pan and top with ginger.
  • Step 4.Combine soy sauce and lime juice, then pour the mixture over the fish.
  • Step 5.Place the plate of fish on top of the foil trivet in your pan. Pour water into the pan (being careful not to pour any on the plate) until it comes to just below the bottom of the plate. Turn the heat on high. Once the water starts to steam, place the lid on. Cook for about 12 minutes (or a bit longer for salmon) or until the fish fillets are cooked (they will easily flake when poked with a fork).
  • Step 6.Just before the fish is ready, place the vegetable oil and the sesame oil in a small saucepan. Heat until a wooden spoon causes bubbles to form when placed into the oil. Turn the heat off but keep the oil warm on the stovetop.
  • Step 7.Use a tea towel to protect your hands as you carefully remove the hot plate of fish from the pan. Top with spring onion. Pour the hot oil over the spring onion to sizzle and cook the onion a little. Top with chilli slices and serve with steamed rice.

STEAMED FISH WITH SEASONED SOY SAUCE AND SCALLION



Steamed Fish with Seasoned Soy Sauce and Scallion image

This preparation of steamed fish is a classic dish cooked at home for family gatherings, special occasions and Lunar New Year. It is often included as one of the courses at any Chinese banquet, regardless of the occasion. This dish symbolizes good fortune and abundance, as the Chinese word for "fish" sounds very similar to the Chinese word for "abundance." When I was growing up, my mom often made this dish for Lunar New Year celebratory meals. The traditional flavors of this recipe invoke those childhood memories and are sure to bring back nostalgia for anyone who grew up in a Chinese household.

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine
1 cup chicken stock
7 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
1 quarter-sized slice peeled ginger
1 quarter-sized piece dried tangerine peel
One 3-pound whole fish, such as sea bass or snapper, cleaned (see Cook's Note)
Two 2-by-1-inch slices peeled ginger, cut into julienne strips
5 stalks scallion, cut into julienne strips
1/3 cup canola oil
5 sprigs fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Add the Shaoxing wine to a small pot and heat over high heat until it starts to boil. Add the chicken stock, light soy sauce, sugar, ginger and dried tangerine peel to the pot. Bring to a simmer and stir to dissolve the sugar. Remove the pot from the heat and allow it to steep for 1 hour. Remove the ginger and dried tangerine peel. Set aside the sauce until ready to use.
  • For the steamed fish: Pat the fish dry and put on a heatproof plate. Scatter the ginger over the fish.
  • Put a steamer rack in a pot wide enough to fit the fish. Add enough water to come almost up to the rack, place over high heat and bring to a full boil. Put the plate with the fish on the rack, cover the pot, lower the heat slightly and steam until the flesh flakes off the bones, 18 to 20 minutes. Pour off any liquid that has accumulated on the plate. Scatter the scallions over the fish.
  • Heat the canola oil in a small pot until smoking. Slowly and carefully pour the hot oil over the scallions on the fish; the hot oil will release the aromas and flavors from the scallions.
  • Bring the sauce to a simmer. Pour enough sauce around the fish to cover the bottom of the plate by 1/4 inch. Garnish with the cilantro sprigs on top of the fish. Serve immediately.

1 pound halibut fillet
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt or kosher salt
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
3 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon light soy sauce

STEAMED WHOLE FISH WITH GINGER, SCALLIONS, AND SOY



Steamed Whole Fish with Ginger, Scallions, and Soy image

Provided by Charles Phan

Categories     Fish     Ginger     Steam     Dinner     Seafood     Soy Sauce     Green Onion/Scallion     Sugar Conscious     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 2 to 4 as part of a multicourse meal

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (1 1/2-pound) whole white fish (such as sea bass, branzino, or flounder), cleaned with head and tail intact
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 by 1/2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely julienned
1/4 cup light soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine
1 scallion, white and light green parts only, julienned
4 cilantro sprigs
1/2 cup canola oil

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse the fish in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season the fish inside and out with salt and pepper. Place the fish on a heatproof plate that is both large enough to accommodate it (a glass pie plate works well) and will also fit inside your steamer, bending the fish slightly if it is too long. Stuff half of the ginger inside the cavity of the fish and spread the remaining ginger on top of the fish.
  • 2. Pour water into a wok or stockpot and set a steamer in the wok or on the rim of the stockpot. Make sure the water does not touch the bottom of the steamer. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
  • 3. Place the plate holding the fish in the steamer, cover, and steam for about 8 minutes, until the fish flakes easily when tested with the tip of a knife.
  • 4. While the fish is steaming, in a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, wine, and 1 tablespoon of water. Set aside.
  • 5. When the fish is ready, carefully remove the plate from the steamer and pour off any accumulated liquid. Lay the scallion and cilantro along the top of the fish. In a small sauté pan, heat the oil over high heat until it is hot but not smoking. Remove the oil from the heat and pour it directly over the scallion and cilantro to "cook" them. Drizzle the soy mixture over the fish and serve immediately.
