Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1 1/2-lb. whole sea bass (or striped bass) with head and tail, cleaned, scaled, and gills removed
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons white wine
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped (approx. 2 tablespoons)
4 tablespoons chopped scallions, including greens
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse the fish inside and out with 1/4 cup of wine.
  • 2. Select a round or oval platter that's large enough to hold the fish but will fit inside the top of a steaming utensil. This could be a traditional Chinese bamboo or metal steamer, or a Western-style clam steamer.
  • 3. Place the fish on the platter and set platter in the top of the steamer. Cover and steam over boiling water 10 to 15 minutes.
  • 4. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce base by combining the 2 tablespoons of wine, garlic, scallions, ginger, and sugar in a small bowl.
  • 5. Check fish for doneness. When cooked, the flesh will be white and pull easily from the bones. Remove the platter and pour off the liquid that has accumulated around the fish.
  • 6. Heat the oil in a wok or saucepan, and when it is hot, add the sauce base. Cook, stirring until the sauce boils.
  • 7. Pour soy sauce over the sea bass first, and then pour the boiled sauce over the fish. Serve immediately.

STEAMED FISH WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE



Steamed Fish With Black Bean Sauce image

I guess this might be called my 'signature' dish and my husband was astonished that I hadn't posted it here yet. The original recipe came from my dog-eared copy of More Long-Life Chinese Cooking From Madam Wong but I've changed it so much that now it's my own. The black beans can be found in oriental markets, they keep forever in a clean glass jar with a tight fitting lid. I make this with fish fillets, usually Chilean sea bass but any firm, white fillet will work. You can also use a whole fish, just make 3, deep, diagonal gashes on each side of the fish. Cooking time is approximate, depending on the type and size fish you use. My sea bass fillet are pretty thick so I steam for 10 minutes total on them. Cook less for thinner fillets. Serve this fish with rice to soak up the delicious juice and I also, ALWAYS serve it with my Baby Bok Choy with Oyster Sauce. My husband loves to spoon some of the sauce from that onto his fish.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 thick firm white fish fillets or 1 1/2 lbs red snapper
2 tablespoons fermented black beans
2 green onions, shredded into 1 1/2 inch long pieces
4 slices ginger, shredded
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons sherry wine or 2 tablespoons rice wine
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon peanut oil
cilantro (to garnish)

Steps:

  • If using a whole fish, make 3 deep diagonal slashes on each side of the fish.
  • Chop the black beans; place half of the black beans, scallions, and ginger on a heat-proof plate that can be used in the steamer; place the fish on top.
  • Sprinkle fish with the sugar, then pour the sherry or rice wine, soy sauce and oil on top; cover the fish with remaining black beans, scallions and ginger.
  • For steaming I use my electric wok and place 2 chopsticks next to each other in one direction and 2 more next to each other in the opposite direction, creating a platform.
  • Place the plate of fish on top of the steamer, over briskly boiling water, cover and steam 10 minutes for thick fillets, 20 minutes for whole fish and less than 10 minutes for thinner fillets.
  • fish is finished when fillets flake easily or when a chopstick will easily pierce the gill area on whole fish.
  • Remove to a platter and garnish with cilantro.
  • Serve over steamed jasmine rice and make sure to spoon the black bean sauce over the whole thing; YUM.

Do not be alarmed by this list of ingredients. This dish is much simpler to prepare than it may seem.

Provided by Jason Epstein

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 sea bass, about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds each, filleted, skin left on
8 ounces fresh Hong Kong-style egg noodles (available in Asian markets)
2 tablespoons light soy sauce, or more to taste
2 tablespoons dark sesame oil, or more to taste
2 tablespoons fermented black beans with garlic (available in jars in Asian markets)
3 tablespoons peanut oil, or more as needed
2 cups fresh mung bean sprouts
1/2 red bell pepper, finely diced
1/2 green bell pepper, finely diced
4 medium fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded, caps thinly sliced
4 green onions, white part and some green, trimmed, thinly sliced
1/2 tablespoon peeled, thinly sliced fresh ginger root
1 cup chicken broth, or more as needed
1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot

Steps:

  • Gently cut 2 X's through the skin of each fillet without cutting the meat, to keep them from curling. Set aside.
  • Soak noodles in warm water for 1 minute, drain and toss with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon sesame oil, or more to taste. The flavor should be noticeable but not overpowering. Set aside.
  • Combine the black beans with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. In a wok heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil until smoking. Add the bean sprouts, bell peppers, mushrooms, green onions and ginger. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the bean-sauce mixture and stir-fry 1 minute. Add 1 cup chicken broth and stir-fry 1 minute more. Mix the cornstarch or arrowroot with a bit of water until smooth and add to the sauce. Heat to boiling, stirring gently, until the sauce is clear and thickened. If too thick, thin with more chicken stock. Set aside and keep warm.
  • In a nonstick 10-inch skillet heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil until almost smoking, add the noodles and flatten into a pancake. Fry gently until crisp, turn over, adding more oil if needed, and brown other side. Place on a platter and keep warm.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a nonstick 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the bass fillets, skin side down, and move the fillets gently to prevent sticking. Reduce heat to medium and cook until the skin is crisp, about 2 minutes. Turn over and cook until a sharp knife meets almost no resistance, 1 to 2 minutes, and fish is browned slightly. Do not overcook!
  • To serve: Spoon the sauce over the noodles and top with the fillets.

Tips:

  • Use a light hand with the black bean sauce. A little goes a long way, so start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Serve the steamed sea bass with rice or noodles. This will help to soak up the delicious black bean sauce.

Steamed sea bass with black bean sauce is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is cooked gently in a flavorful sauce, and the result is a tender, flaky fish that is packed with flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table, and it is a great way to enjoy the health benefits of seafood.
