STEAMED FISH WITH GINGER AND SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Set up your steamer over high heat.
• Score the fish, gently making three to four cuts along the body of the fish on both sides, starting from the dorsal fin to the belly. The cuts should be deep enough that you can stuff them with some ginger and onions. Sprinkle the salt in the slits on both sides to help flavor the fish. Gently place half of the onions and ¼ cup of the ginger into the slits.
• In a small pot over medium-high heat, combine the soy sauce, wine, oil, and the remaining onions and ¼ cup ginger. Heat to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Keep the sauce over low heat while the fish steams.
• Place the fish in a steam-proof dish, such as a pie plate, that fits in your steamer. The dish should be deep enough to let the sauce pool at the bottom. Steam the fish for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the fish. To check for doneness, turn off the heat. Carefully lift the lid of the steamer. Using the tip of a sharp knife, gently probe the flesh at the meatiest part of the fish. If it is opaque and flakes, then the fish is done steaming. If it looks underdone, then close the lid and steam over high heat for up to 5 minutes more.
• Remove the dish from the steamer and drizzle the soy sauce mixture over the fish. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with rice as a part of a meal.

STEAMED WHOLE FISH WITH GINGER AND GREEN ONIONS RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Prepare the fish for steaming: Cut 3 diagonal slices about 3/4-inch deep into the two fleshy sides of the fish. With the tip of a knife, make two 1/2-inch deep cuts that run the length of the fish along either side of the backbone. Place the fish on a heatproof steaming plate. For the Stuffing: Stuff the fish: Stir the ginger, green onion, preserved vegetables and garlic together in a bowl until blended. Rub half of the stuffing mixture into the cuts on the sides of the fish. Stuff the remaining half into the cavity. Sprinkle the fish inside and out with the salt and pepper. For the Dish: Prepare a wok for steaming. Set the plate into the steamer basket. Cover the wok and steam the fish over high heat until the fish turns opaque along the backbone, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir the soy sauce and sugar together in a small bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Pour over the steamed fish. Heat the vegetable and sesame oils in a small skillet or saucepan over high heat just until they begin to smoke. Pour the hot oil over the fish. Stand back and watch it sizzle. Serve with steamed rice. This recipe yields 4 servings.
