STEAMED STRIPED BASS WITH GINGER AND SCALLIONS



Steamed Striped Bass with Ginger and Scallions image

Provided by Jet Tila

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

One 2- to 3-pound whole striped bass, scaled and gutted (fins and gills removed)
Nonstick cooking spray
Kosher salt and white pepper
4 Chinese black mushrooms, soaked in warm water until softened, sliced thin
2-inch piece ginger, finely sliced like blades of grass
4 baby bok choy, quartered
1/4 cup (60 ml) water
3 tablespoons (45 ml) thin soy sauce
1 tablespoon (15 ml) chicken bouillon powder
1 tablespoon (15 ml) Shaoxing rice wine
2 teaspoons (10 grams) sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 scallions, finely sliced like blades of grass
2 tablespoons (30 ml) sesame oil
2 tablespoons (30 ml) canola oil

Steps:

  • For the striped bass: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray the bottom of a large baking dish with the cooking spray.
  • Rinse the fish with cold water and pat it dry. Place it in the prepared baking dish. Season the fish with salt and white pepper. Scatter the sliced mushrooms in the dish. Sprinkle the sliced ginger over the fish and arrange the baby bok choy pieces around the fish, like a frame.
  • For the sauce: Stir together the soy sauce, chicken bouillon powder, Shaoxing rice wine, sugar and sesame oil in a small bowl. Pour this sauce over the fish, which will convert to aromatic steam, cooking the fish.
  • Pull a tight layer of plastic wrap over the baking dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Bake until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 130 to 135 degrees F; the fish should flake apart gently, and the center should just be turning opaque, 15 to 18 minutes.
  • For after steaming: Check to see that the fish is done. Place the scallions on top of the fish and replace the foil to retain heat and moisture.
  • Combine the canola and sesame oils in a small saucepan and heat them to high until just smoking, about 2 minutes. Remove the foil and carefully drizzle the hot oil over the scallions and fish--it will sizzle. Finish by spooning the sauce over the fish.

WHOLE BLACK BASS WITH GINGER AND SCALLIONS



Whole Black Bass with Ginger and Scallions image

A whole fish, representing abundance, is almost always included on the celebratory Chinese table. Ours is flavored only lightly, with ginger and scallions, so as not to overpower the fresh taste of the fish.

Categories     Wok     Ginger     Onion     Bake     Quick & Easy     Lunar New Year     Bass     Healthy

Yield Makes 8 servings (as part of a Chinese meal)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (3-lb) whole black bass or sea bass (not Chilean), cleaned, leaving head and tail intact
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 bunch scallions, white and pale green parts cut into very thin 2-inch strips and greens reserved separately
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into very thin matchsticks
3 tablespoons light soy sauce (preferably Pearl River Bridge brand)
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
Special Equipment
a large shallow baking dish (about 15 by 10 inches) to fit inside a 17- by 12- by 2 1/2-inch roasting pan; heavy-duty foil; a well-seasoned 14-inch flat-bottomed wok

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F. Put baking dish in roasting pan.
  • Rinse fish and pat dry, then rub inside and out with salt. Transfer to baking dish and sprinkle with scallion strips (white and pale green) and ginger.
  • Stir together soy sauce and sugar until sugar is dissolved, then pour over fish. Add enough boiling-hot water to roasting pan to reach halfway up side of baking dish. Oil a large sheet of heavy-duty foil, then tent foil (oiled side down) over fish and tightly seal around roasting pan. Carefully transfer roasting pan to oven and bake until fish is just cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • While fish bakes, cut enough scallion greens diagonally into very thin slices to measure 1/2 cup (reserve remainder for another use).
  • Just before serving, remove foil from fish and sprinkle with scallion greens. Heat wok over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes instantly. Pour oil around side of wok, then tilt wok to swirl oil, coating side, and heat until smoking. Remove from heat and immediately pour oil over scallion greens and fish.

1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons toasted-sesame oil

STEAMED WHOLE FISH WITH GINGER, SCALLIONS, AND SOY

Provided by Charles Phan

Categories     Fish     Ginger     Steam     Dinner     Seafood     Soy Sauce     Green Onion/Scallion     Sugar Conscious     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 2 to 4 as part of a multicourse meal

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (1 1/2-pound) whole white fish (such as sea bass, branzino, or flounder), cleaned with head and tail intact
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 by 1/2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely julienned
1/4 cup light soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine
1 scallion, white and light green parts only, julienned
4 cilantro sprigs
1/2 cup canola oil

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse the fish in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season the fish inside and out with salt and pepper. Place the fish on a heatproof plate that is both large enough to accommodate it (a glass pie plate works well) and will also fit inside your steamer, bending the fish slightly if it is too long. Stuff half of the ginger inside the cavity of the fish and spread the remaining ginger on top of the fish.
  • 2. Pour water into a wok or stockpot and set a steamer in the wok or on the rim of the stockpot. Make sure the water does not touch the bottom of the steamer. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
  • 3. Place the plate holding the fish in the steamer, cover, and steam for about 8 minutes, until the fish flakes easily when tested with the tip of a knife.
  • 4. While the fish is steaming, in a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, wine, and 1 tablespoon of water. Set aside.
  • 5. When the fish is ready, carefully remove the plate from the steamer and pour off any accumulated liquid. Lay the scallion and cilantro along the top of the fish. In a small sauté pan, heat the oil over high heat until it is hot but not smoking. Remove the oil from the heat and pour it directly over the scallion and cilantro to "cook" them. Drizzle the soy mixture over the fish and serve immediately.

Black Bass Poached With Ginger and Scallions image

When the chef Eric Ripert took over the kitchen of Le Bernardin in the early 1990s, he took some liberties with the traditional French menu and added seafood dishes with Asian influences, like this black bass poached with ginger and scallions.

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1/4 cup Champagne vinegar
1 medium carrot, coarsely chopped
1 medium leek, coarsely chopped
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 rib celery, coarsely chopped
1 ripe tomato, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon whole white peppercorns
1/2 bay leaf, crumbled
4 cups of water
Salt to taste
1 sprig each fresh dill, basil and mint
8 scallions, split lengthwise
1 whole ripe tomato
1 1 1/2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
4 six-ounce fillets of black bass, with skin
1/2 lemon, peeled, seeded and diced fine
20 coriander leaves, cut in slivers

Steps:

  • Place the wine, vinegar, coarsely chopped vegetables, coriander and fennel seeds, peppercorns and bay leaf in a saucepan. Add water, bring to a boil, season with salt, and simmer about a half hour. Remove from heat, add the dill, basil and mint, and steep the herbs for an hour. Strain the broth and transfer to a deep saute pan large enough to hold the fish in one layer.
  • Bring the broth to a simmer, add the scallions, tomato and ginger, cook about a minute and remove with a slotted spoon, reserving the liquid. Peel, seed and dice the tomato. Cut the ginger slices julienne style. Set the vegetables aside.
  • With a sharp knife, lightly score the skin side of the fillets in a crisscross pattern to prevent them from curling. Bring the broth back to a very gentle simmer, place the fish in the broth skin side down and poach until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the fish to soup plates.
  • Bring the broth to a simmer again, spoon some over the fish and top the fish with the scallions, diced tomato, ginger and lemon pieces. Garnish with the coriander and serve. Freeze any leftover liquid for future use.
