TOFU WITH SIZZLING SCALLION OIL
This refreshing weeknight meal comes together in less than 15 minutes and barely requires turning on the stove. Aromatic garlic, ginger and scallions are gently heated in oil until they sizzle and infuse it, turning into a fragrant, lively sauce for mild silken tofu. Peppery arugula and a final drizzle of tangy cilantro sauce brighten the dish. Enjoy with steamed rice for a heftier meal, or top with fried eggs. Leftover tofu can be stored in the scallion oil and refrigerated; it will have absorbed even more flavor the next day.

Steps:
- Peel and julienne the ginger. Trim and slice the scallions on a bias. Place in shallow, heatproof dish large enough to hold the fish.
- Make sure the fish is clean of scales and snip off the sharp spines with kitchen shears.
- Score the fish on both sides on a bias at 2-inch (5cm) intervals, down to the bone. Season lightly with salt and pepper inside and out. Place the fish in the dish and disperse the scallion whites (reserve the greens for garnish) and ginger on top, underneath, and inside the fish. Add the soy sauce, peanut oil, sesame oil and the sugar.
- Place the dish with the fish set on a rack above simmering water in a wide, shallow pan with a tight fitting lid. Cook until a small knife or skewer can be easily inserted into the thickest part of the body of the fish, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the pan, sprinkle with scallion greens and serve immediately.
STEAMED FISH WITH GINGER AND SCALLIONS
You can certainly make this fish in a bamboo steamer, but I have found it works well done in foil packets in the oven--and there's a bonus--nothing to wash.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Place each fish fillet on a large piece of aluminum foil.
- Combine the smashed ginger, scallions, oil and salt and pepper and distribute the mixture among the four pieces of fish.
- Bring up the ends of each piece of foil and close up to form four loose pouches.
- Place the four pouches on a cookie sheet and place in the oven for about ten minutes.
- While the fish is cooking, make the sauce by combing the ingredients and stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
- Open one foil packet and make sure fish is coked through.
- If so, place each piece of fish on an individual serving plate on which you have pooled a tablespoon or two of the warm sauce and garnish with the julienned scallions and ginger.
- Drizzle the hot oil over the fish and serve, with extra sauce on the side.
Tips:
- Choose a firm and fresh cod fillet. It should be white and opaque, with no signs of discoloration or bruising.
- If you don't have a steamer, you can use a colander placed over a pot of boiling water.
- Make sure the water in the steamer is simmering, not boiling. Boiling water will overcook the cod and make it tough.
- Steam the cod for 8-10 minutes, or until it is cooked through. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the steamed cod immediately, with your favorite dipping sauce or garnish.
Conclusion:
Steamed cod with ginger and scallions is a light and healthy dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The cod is cooked perfectly in the steamer, and the ginger and scallions add a delicious flavor. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or garnish, and enjoy!
