STEAMED FISH WITH GINGER & SPRING ONION

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cut a large rectangle of foil, big enough to make a large envelope. Place the pak choi on the foil, followed by the fish, then the ginger and garlic. Pour over the soy sauce and rice wine, then season.
• Fold over foil and seal the 3 edges, then put on a baking sheet. Cook for 20 mins, open the parcel and scatter over the spring onions and coriander. Serve with brown rice and squeezed lime juice.

STEAMED FISH WITH GINGER

Steps:

• Pat halibut dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of fillet with salt. Scatter the ginger over the top of the fish and place onto a heatproof ceramic dish.
• Place into a bamboo steamer set over several inches of gently boiling water, and cover. Gently steam for 10 to 12 minutes.
• Pour accumulated water out of the dish and sprinkle the fillet with green onion. Drizzle both soy sauces over the surface of the fish.
• Heat peanut and sesame oils in a small skillet over medium-high heat until they begin to smoke. When the oil is hot, carefully pour on top of the halibut fillet. The very hot oil will cause the green onions and water on top of the fish to pop and spatter all over; be careful. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve immediately.

STEAMED FISH WITH GINGER

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups cold water to a simmer in a large wok over medium heat.
• Line a 30cm bamboo steamer with baking paper and place steamer over water.
• Place fish in steamer and cover and steam for 5 to 10 minutes or until just cooked through (timing will depend on thickness of fish and you could use blue eye, snapper or ling fish are suggested).
• Personally I would use my electric 3 tiered steamer to steam the fish.
• Carefully transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
• Meanwhile combine coriander, onion and chilli in a bowl.
• Combine ginger, garlic, sugar and soy sauce in a heatproof bowl.
• Place peanut oil and sesame oil in a saucepan over high heat and cook for 2 minutes until starting to smoke and then carefully pour over ginger mixture (CAREFUL it will spit).
• Drizzle ginger mix over fish and top with coriander mix and serve with rice and greens.

CHINESE STEAMED WHOLE FISH WITH GREEN ONION AND GINGER

Steps:

• Scale and clean fish, leave head and tail on as long as it can fit into the steamer.
• Place cleaned fish on a heat proof dish that fits into your steamer.
• Rub fish inside and out with salt, garlic and a pinch of the ginger.
• Stuff the fish cavity with lup cheong, and sprinkle some of the sausage on top.
• place in steamer and steam for 8-10 minutes.
• In a small saucepan, heat peanut oil until it starts to sizzle.
• Remove fish from steamer when done. Sprinkle scallions, remaining ginger and cilantro sprigs on top of fish.
• Pour hot oil on top of fish and let it sizzle. Top with soy sauce.
• Fish with firm meat such as coho salmon, halibut fillets, mullet, pacific threadfin (moi), trout, bass or other snappers can be used.
• A wok can be used to make a steamer. You will need to find a round cake cooling rack or grill rack to fit the wok. Place the water in the bottom of the wok and place the dish of fish on the rack and cover the wok with a lid or aluminum foil. Do not let the water evaporate and clean and oil the wok immediately or it will start to rust.
