Steamed Fish with Seasoned Soy Sauce
INGREDIENTS
• 1 medium Australian bass
• 3 tbsp seasoned soy sauce for sea food
• 4 spring onion, sliced
• 2 tbsp fresh ginger, sliced
• 4 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp salt
COOK’S TIPS
1. Buy a swimming fish, gut it through the gills, or gut it through the stomach. Rinse the fish under cold, running water and dry with kitchen paper.
2. Diagonally score both sides of the fish and sprinkle with salt. Put 1/3 of spring onion and ginger on a plate. Place the fish on the plate, and spread 1/3 of the spring onion and ginger on top of the fish.
3. Place the plate holding the fish in the steamer, cover, and steam for about 15 minutes.
4. When the fish is ready, remove the plate from the steamer, remove steamed spring onion and ginger and pour off any accumulated liquid. Put remaining spring onion on the top of the fish.
5. Heat the oil in a wok over high heat until it is hot. Add remaining ginger and remove the oil from the heat and pour it directly over the spring onion on the fish. Drizzle the soy sauce for sea food over the fish and serve immediately.
