Cantonese Steamed Fish image

Cantonese steamed fish is often served as one of the courses in a Chinese banquet, but it's also an easy meal to make on any weeknight at home with just a few ingredients.

Provided by Bill

Categories     Fish and Seafood

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 scallions
2 tablespoons ginger
1 small bunch cilantro
1 ½ tablespoons light soy sauce
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons hot water
10 ounce fillet of delicate white fish ((such as sea bass, grey sole, flounder, fluke, tilapia, or haddock))
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Cut the scallions into 2-inch lengths, and cut the pieces in half lengthwise. Julienne them thinly. Thinly slice about 15g of ginger, and julienne them. Give the cilantro a rough chop. Set the aromatics aside.
  • Combine the light soy sauce, salt, sugar and hot water in a small bowl and mix until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Set aside.
  • Prepare your steaming set-up, and fill with 1-2 inches of water. Bring to a boil.
  • Rinse your fish fillet, and carefully lay it on an oblong heat-proof plate that will fit into your wok or steaming setup. Carefully place it in the steamer, and adjust the heat to medium. The water should be at a slow boil that generates a good amount of steam, but not so high that the water evaporates too quickly.
  • Cover and steam for 7-10 minutes depending upon the size and thickness of your fish fillet. If you have extremely small, thin fillets (half an inch), cook for 4-5 minutes. Check for doneness using a butter knife. If it falls easily through the thickest part of the fillet to the bottom of the plate, the fish is done.
  • Turn off the heat, and carefully drain any liquid on the plate. Spread about ⅓ of the scallions, ginger, and cilantro on the steamed fish (alternatively, you can wait to do this AFTER adding the sauce).
  • To make the sauce, heat a wok or small saucepan to medium high heat, and add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the remaining ⅔ of the ginger, and fry for 1 minute. Add the white parts of the scallions and cook for 30 seconds.Then add rest of the scallions and cilantro. The mixture should be sizzling.
  • Add the soy sauce mixture. Bring the mixture to a bubble, and cook until the scallions and cilantro are just wilted, about 30 seconds.
  • Pour this mixture over the fish. If you prefer to add the raw aromatics after adding the sauce, you can do so now, and heat an additional 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to pour over the raw aromatics. Serve immediately!

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

Categories     Dinner, Fish Course, Main course

Time 40m

Categories     Dinner     Seafood     Fish     Bass     Snapper     Ginger     Green Onion/Scallion     Soy Sauce     Wine     Lunar New Year     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Steam     Healthy

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 whole fish, such as striped bass, snapper, or rock fish (about 1½ pounds), scaled and cleaned (ask the fishmonger to do this)
1 to 2 teaspoons kosher salt
6 stalks green onions, cut into (3-inch) segments, divided
½ cup finely julienned fresh ginger, divided
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine or dry Marsala wine
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Roughly chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Set up your steamer over high heat.
  • Score the fish, gently making three to four cuts along the body of the fish on both sides, starting from the dorsal fin to the belly. The cuts should be deep enough that you can stuff them with some ginger and onions. Sprinkle the salt in the slits on both sides to help flavor the fish. Gently place half of the onions and ¼ cup of the ginger into the slits.
  • In a small pot over medium-high heat, combine the soy sauce, wine, oil, and the remaining onions and ¼ cup ginger. Heat to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Keep the sauce over low heat while the fish steams.
  • Place the fish in a steam-proof dish, such as a pie plate, that fits in your steamer. The dish should be deep enough to let the sauce pool at the bottom. Steam the fish for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the fish. To check for doneness, turn off the heat. Carefully lift the lid of the steamer. Using the tip of a sharp knife, gently probe the flesh at the meatiest part of the fish. If it is opaque and flakes, then the fish is done steaming. If it looks underdone, then close the lid and steam over high heat for up to 5 minutes more.
  • Remove the dish from the steamer and drizzle the soy sauce mixture over the fish. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with rice as a part of a meal.

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.

QUICK OVEN ROASTED GINGER SCALLION LIME SEA BASS



Quick Oven Roasted Ginger Scallion Lime Sea Bass image

A twist on an epicurious.com recipe. So quick and flavorful. Serve with jasmine rice or some type of asian green such as bok choy.

Provided by TheBostonBean

Categories     Bass

Time 25m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, about 1 large lime
3 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
1 tablespoon peeled minced ginger
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 bunch scallions or 1 bunch green onion, cut into match sticks white and pale green parts
5 teaspoons olive oil
12 ounces fish fillets or 12 ounces sea bass, cut into sections

Steps:

  • Pre heat oven to 500°F.
  • Mix first 5 ingredients and 3 tsp of oil. Season with pepper or salt if needed.
  • Brush oven proof glass dish with 2 tsp oil.
  • Arrange fish in dish.
  • Spoon sauce over fish, leaving enough to drizzle over when serving.
  • Roast fish for 12 minutes until opaque.
  • Top with remaining sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest sea bass possible. Look for fish with bright, clear eyes, firm flesh, and a mild, briny smell.
  • Use a variety of scallions. Green onions add a mild onion flavor, while Chinese chives (also known as garlic chives) add a more pungent flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the steamer. If you're using a bamboo steamer, make sure there's enough space between the fish fillets so that they can steam evenly.
  • Don't overcook the fish. Steamed sea bass is best when it's cooked just until it's opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Overcooked fish will be tough and dry.
  • Serve the fish immediately. Steamed sea bass is best enjoyed hot out of the steamer. You can garnish it with additional scallions, ginger, and cilantro.

Conclusion:

Steamed sea bass with scallions and ginger is a light, healthy, and flavorful dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to showcase the delicate flavor of sea bass. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and impressive meal that your family and friends will love.
