RECIPE FOR STEAMED FISH WITH GINGER
Ingredients:
1 whole fish ( I chose tilapia)
2 tablespoons julienned ginger
1/4 cup regular cooking oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 spring onions
cilantro sprigs
1) Make two diagonal cuts of the thickest part of the fish, both sides. Top with ginger.
2) Place in steamer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until done.
3) Heat oil in a saucepan at medium heat until oil begins to smoke. Be careful, its hot.
4) Pour hot oil over the fish. It will sizzle and splatter, so stand back.
5) Pour soy sauce over fish and garnish with green onions and cilantro.
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes.
The easier and faster way is to cook it in the microwave.
Place the fish in a platter topped with ginger, scallions and cilantro. Pour soy sauce over the fish. Cover with plastic saran wrap. Microwave for 4 minutes depending on the power or wattage of your microwave. Mine is 1200 watts so I cook it in 4 minutes.
When done, remove the plastic wrap. Be careful, steam is hot, you might burn yourself.
Follow procedure 3) and 4) above.
Preparation time : 10 minutes
