STEAMED TILAPIA OVER CELLOPHANE NOODLES WITH A MISO BROTH
Easy, inexpensive, great flavor and completely different. I love this dish and it is so easy and a one pot wonder. Serve with a light salad with a sesame dressing, some shredded carrots, zucchini, red onion, cucumber and water chestnuts for a great side, and that is all you need. And for those who say they don't like steamed fish ... Just try it. Now I did say Tilapia, only because it is very inexpensive and mild and it seems that there of a lot of people who enjoy it. Personally, I would prefer grouper, halibut or cod but as long as it is a firm white fish it will work just fine.

Steps:
- Noodles -- In a small bowl, cover the cellophane noodles with hot water and let stand until soft. It will take about 5 minutes. Drain and rough chop. I like 4-5" pieces, just a couple of quick cuts. You don't have to be exact, just makes the dish easier to eat is all.
- Broth -- In a small bowl again, add the broth, oyster sauce, miso, soy, sugar and mix well.
- Bake -- Now, in deep pie pan or you can use a shallow glass casserole dish like a 9x9 baking pan, add the mushrooms and bok choy to cover the bottom. They lay the fish fillets on top of the vegetables, and then top the fish add the celophane noodles. Pour the broth over the entire dish and I like to garnish with just a little pepper.
- Steaming -- Now since I don't have a steamer basket. I set the pie plate or casserole dish in a deep skillet large enough to hold it and add 1" of water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a medium heat, cover and steam until the fish is cooked through. This will take about 15 minutes depending on the thickness of your fish.
- TIP: If you have a small metal cookie cutter or small grate, put in on the bottom of the pan with the water and set your dish on top. It allows the water to boil underneath without your dish being directly on the bottom of the pan. If not, that is ok, it just works very well.
- Serve and Garnish -- In a small cup or bowl heat up the oil in the microwave on medium just till warm. This is very classic, to lightly drizzle the fish with warm oil.
- Transfer the casserole dish or pie plate to your table and serve. The noodles and mushrooms will absorb some of the broth, but I love to serve this in a bowl with some of the extra broth for each person. Garnish with the scallions and cilantro and a drizzle of the warm oil.
- Just a nice unique way to enjoy some fresh fish in a much lighter style. I think you will enjoy it.

POACHED SHRIMP IN A MISO BROTH WITH CELLOPHANE NOODLES
Steps:
- For the Ichiban Dashi (Miso):
- In a large saucepan, combine the konbu and water and heat over medium-low heat almost to the boiling point. Remove the konbu just before the mixture comes to a boil and discard. Add the bonito flakes and allow to steep for 10 seconds, or just until the mixture comes to a boil.
- Turn off the heat and skim any foam that has come to the surface of the liquid. Allow the mixture to stand for 2 minutes, then strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Discard bonito flakes and return the dashi to the saucepan over low heat.
- For the soup:
- Add the mushrooms to the dashi and allow to steep over low heat until the mushrooms are softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, white and brown miso and scallions and combine well. Season the shrimp with the salt and white pepper, add to the soup and continue to cook until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide the noodles evenly among the bowls; pour the miso and shrimp over the noodles. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose firm, fresh tilapia fillets. Look for fillets that are opaque in color and have a slight sheen. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy smell.
- Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This will help to remove any excess moisture and prevent the fillets from sticking to the steamer.
- Season the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
- Place the tilapia fillets in a steamer basket. Make sure that the fillets are not touching each other. If you are using a bamboo steamer, lightly grease the steamer basket with cooking spray to prevent the fillets from sticking.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place the steamer basket over the pot and cover it.Steam the tilapia fillets for 8-10 minutes, or until the fillets are cooked through. The fillets are cooked through when they are opaque in color and flake easily with a fork.
- While the tilapia fillets are steaming, prepare the cellophane noodles. Soak the cellophane noodles in cold water for 10 minutes, or until they are softened. Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water.
- Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Add the cellophane noodles to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To serve, place a bed of cellophane noodles on a plate. Top with the steamed tilapia fillets and pour the miso broth over the fish. Garnish with green onions and serve immediately.
