Chinese Steamed Fish

Hi All,

This is an unexpectedly super easy recipe. I love the Chinese Steamed Fish at the restaurants and my mom just taught me how to do this tonight. This is a super healthy dish. Just make sure you eat this dish HOT!



Preparation time: 2 minutes
Cooking time: 15-20 minutes
Serving size: 3-4 people
Price: $4.50

Ingredients:
- 1 pack of of Pollock fillet - You can use any type of fish fillet eg. Tilapia (1 pack has 5 pieces) ($3.00/pack) I bought this frozen fish fillet pack at Galleria (A Korean grocery store)
- 1 bundle of Spring green onion ($1.00)
- 1 ginger (50 cents)
- 4-5 tablespoons of  Lee Kum Kee Seasoned Soy Sauce For Seafood (as needed). You can find this at 99 Ranch Market (an Asian grocery store)


 Sauce (Optional if you like spicy):
- Red hot chili (from our garden)
- Light soy sauce
Cut the red chili and mix it with the light soy sauce.


Directions of Cooking:

1. Start the steamer so that once you are ready to steam, you can just put the fish in
2. Cut the green onion into 2 inch pieces, then cut them vertically so that they become thin stripes
3. Skin the ginger, cut the ginger into thin slices, then cut them again vertically so that they become thin stripes. The ratio between the green onions and the ginger should be 1:1.

4. Put the fish on a ceramic dish, then put the green onion and the ginger on top of the fish. Then put it into the steamer.

5. After 15-20 minutes, check on the fish. The fish should be tender and you will also have some water in the dish.

6.  Add about 4-5 tablespoons of  Lee Kum Kee Seasoned Soy Sauce For Seafood. Mix the seasoning with the fish broth. TASTE before you add too much seasoning.

7. You can eat with warm rice and the cut chili sauce.


My mom and I don't eat a lot so we only ate 2 fillets of pollock. ENJOY!
