Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 26m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Juice from 1/2 a lemon
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
4 bunches scallions, whites and greens separated, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
4 (6-ounce) sole or other flat fish fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large Napa cabbage leaves
1 medium carrot, thinly sliced on the bias
8 shiitake mushroom, stems trimmed and discarded

Steps:

  • Whisk the soy sauce, lemon zest and juice, and the sesame oil together in a small bowl. Add the scallion whites to the sauce.
  • Mix the scallion greens with the ginger in another small bowl.
  • Lay the sole fillets on the work surface, skin-side up (look for the side with the herring bone pattern). Cut the fillets lengthwise along the natural seam that runs down the center of each piece. Lightly season the skin-side of the fish with salt and pepper. Then scatter the scallions and ginger on top. Starting from the narrow tail end, roll up each piece of fish into a tight spiral with the scallion on the inside. Secure with a toothpick if desired.
  • Pour an inch or more of water in a wok or skillet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lay the Napa leaves in a bamboo or collapsible steamer. Stand the fish rolls on the Napa, and scatter the shiitake mushrooms and sliced carrot around. Set the steamer over the water, cover, and cook the fish until it is barely cooked through, about 6 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave the fish covered to finish cooking in the residual heat of the steamer, about 5 minutes more.
  • Divide the Napa, sole, shiitakes, and carrots among 4 plates and drizzle with the sauce. Serve.

HEALTHY STEAMED VEGETABLES



Healthy Steamed Vegetables image

This is the healthiest way you can eat vegetables. When served raw, if not chewed thoroughly, vegetables can cause polyps to form on the inner tract of the colon. If boiled or canned, the vitamins are diminished. Proper steaming of your vegetables leaves the vitamins and minerals intact, while also saving your tummy lots of trouble. It's delicious, too! Multiply this recipe by the number of adult servings you need...it's that easy! :) You can use any variety of vegetables in season, or not...even frozen vegetables. One cup [cooked weight] is one serving.

GINGER VEGGIE STIR-FRY



Ginger Veggie Stir-Fry image

I just whipped this up one day when I felt like a stir-fry but did not have all the ingredients called for in some of the stir-fry recipes on this site. I used certain veggies I had on hand, but any seasonal veggies may be used. It has a mild ginger flavor that can be enhanced according to taste, and is filling yet light on the tummy! Tofu may be added. Serve over a bed of steamed jasmine rice.
