Number Of Ingredients 10

2 red-snapper fillets (about 8 ounces each), skin on
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, plus a few sprigs for garnish
1 stalk lemongrass, trimmed and thinly sliced, or two 1-inch strips lemon peel
2 scallions, cut into thin strips about 4 inches long
1 4-inch piece of ginger, peeled and cut into thin strips
4 shiitake or white mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon rice-wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Place a steaming rack in a large wok. Fill wok with water to 1 inch below the rack. Place a heatproof plate on rack, making sure plate doesn't touch sides of wok.
  • Season fillets with salt and pepper. Coat lightly on both sides with sesame oil. Sprinkle flesh side with chopped cilantro.
  • Place one fillet on the plate, skin side down. Sprinkle with some lemon grass or peel; sprinkle remainder around plate. Place second fillet, skin side up, on top of first.
  • Scatter scallions, ginger, and mushrooms on top of and around fish. Drizzle with soy sauce and vinegar.
  • Bring water to a boil, turn down to a steady simmer, and cover wok. Steam until the fish flakes at thickest part, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve directly from plate.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I'll try using less chili next time.

The fish was a little dry, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try adding some more liquid to the pan next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the fish turned out great. I used a little less ginger than the recipe called for, but it was still very flavorful.
