As this is my first post here, let me share my family’s favourite healthy food! Steamed fish, chinese style 🙂
The type of fish you use will determine the taste. Some fishes are not so good for steaming, some taste really really good steamed. And remember, when you want to do this dish, you have to use fresh fish, or the smell will be.. erm.. fishy :p
Fish that I recommend for steaming:
- Silver pomfret
- Threadfin
- Red Snapper (White snappers do NOT taste good steamed.. to me at lease)
- Sea bass
- Red Grouper
- Red Tiliapia
- Red Molly
I am still trying to get good shots of my food, but unfortunately the camera does not really like me all that much as yet. So i will continue to try and make friends with it. In the mean time, bear with these pics.
Ingredients
- Threadfin, 2 fillets
- Garlic 2 cloves, chopped
- Ginger a few slices (or more if you think your fish is not too fresh)
- Cherry tomatoes, about 5 (you may use normal tomatoes here)
- Spring onion, 1 chopped into about 2-3 inch peices
- Light soy sauce, to your taste
1. Wash and place your fish in a clean plate.
2. Arrange the garlic, ginger, tomatoes on the top/bottom/sides of the fish.
3. Drizzle the sauce over the fish
4. Allow it to stand for a while in the refridgerator.
5. Heat up water till it is boiling in a wok and place wire rack right in the center. (Alternatively you can use a steamer)
6. Put the fish on the wire rack and cover for 15 minutes.
7. Uncover and add the spring onions and cover again for about 1 minute. Serve.
Note: If you wish to have a little more gravy, you may want to add a few Tbs of water to the fish before steaming.
