Ingredients
- 2 fish fillets
- 1 cup fish stock
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the fish fillets by patting them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with soy sauce to create a smooth slurry, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Finely mince fresh ginger and chop green onions, separating the white and green parts.
- Place fish fillets in a shallow, heat-safe steaming dish that will fit inside your steamer basket.
- Sprinkle minced ginger and white parts of green onions over the fish fillets.
- Prepare your steamer by filling the bottom with water and bringing it to a gentle boil.
- Carefully place the dish with fish into the steamer basket and cover.
- Steam the fish for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- While fish is steaming, prepare the gravy by heating fish stock in a small saucepan.
- Slowly whisk in the cornstarch and soy sauce mixture to thicken the gravy, stirring constantly.
- Once fish is cooked, carefully remove the dish from the steamer.
- Pour the prepared fish gravy over the steamed fish.
- Garnish with remaining green onion tops and serve immediately while hot.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Fish: For the best flavor and texture, select fresh fish fillets from your local market. Look for firm, shiny fillets with a clean ocean smell.
- Perfect Steaming: Ensure that the water in your steamer is boiling before placing the fish inside. This helps to lock in moisture and cook the fish evenly.
- Customize Your Gravy: Feel free to add additional ingredients to the gravy, such as a splash of sesame oil or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Serve with Sides: Complement your steamed fish with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables to create a complete meal that’s both healthy and satisfying.
- Garnish for Presentation: Don’t skip the garnish! Fresh green onion tops not only add a pop of color but also enhance the dish's flavor.
