Best 4 Steamed Tilapia Over Cellophane Noodles With A Miso Broth Recipes

STEAMED TILAPIA OVER CELLOPHANE NOODLES WITH A MISO BROTH

Steps:

• Noodles -- In a small bowl, cover the cellophane noodles with hot water and let stand until soft. It will take about 5 minutes. Drain and rough chop. I like 4-5" pieces, just a couple of quick cuts. You don't have to be exact, just makes the dish easier to eat is all.
• Broth -- In a small bowl again, add the broth, oyster sauce, miso, soy, sugar and mix well.
• Bake -- Now, in deep pie pan or you can use a shallow glass casserole dish like a 9x9 baking pan, add the mushrooms and bok choy to cover the bottom. They lay the fish fillets on top of the vegetables, and then top the fish add the celophane noodles. Pour the broth over the entire dish and I like to garnish with just a little pepper.
• Steaming -- Now since I don't have a steamer basket. I set the pie plate or casserole dish in a deep skillet large enough to hold it and add 1" of water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a medium heat, cover and steam until the fish is cooked through. This will take about 15 minutes depending on the thickness of your fish.
• TIP: If you have a small metal cookie cutter or small grate, put in on the bottom of the pan with the water and set your dish on top. It allows the water to boil underneath without your dish being directly on the bottom of the pan. If not, that is ok, it just works very well.
• Serve and Garnish -- In a small cup or bowl heat up the oil in the microwave on medium just till warm. This is very classic, to lightly drizzle the fish with warm oil.
• Transfer the casserole dish or pie plate to your table and serve. The noodles and mushrooms will absorb some of the broth, but I love to serve this in a bowl with some of the extra broth for each person. Garnish with the scallions and cilantro and a drizzle of the warm oil.
• Just a nice unique way to enjoy some fresh fish in a much lighter style. I think you will enjoy it.

UDON NOODLES WITH MISO POACHED TILAPIA

Steps:

• In a large pot over high heat, bring water to boil for noodles.
• In a large straight-sided frying pan over medium-high heat, whisk together all ingredients except fish and noodles. Bring to boil; reduce to simmer. Add tilapia fillets, cover, and poach for 10 minutes.
• Add udon noodles to rapidly boiling water and cook for 6 to 8 minutes for thin udon and 10 to 12 minutes for thicker udon. Serve udon in a bowl with miso broth. Top with poached tilapia and chopped scallions.

CANTONESE STEAMED FISH

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!

POACHED SHRIMP IN A MISO BROTH WITH CELLOPHANE NOODLES

Steps:

• For the Ichiban Dashi (Miso):
• In a large saucepan, combine the konbu and water and heat over medium-low heat almost to the boiling point. Remove the konbu just before the mixture comes to a boil and discard. Add the bonito flakes and allow to steep for 10 seconds, or just until the mixture comes to a boil.
• Turn off the heat and skim any foam that has come to the surface of the liquid. Allow the mixture to stand for 2 minutes, then strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Discard bonito flakes and return the dashi to the saucepan over low heat.
• For the soup:
• Add the mushrooms to the dashi and allow to steep over low heat until the mushrooms are softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, white and brown miso and scallions and combine well. Season the shrimp with the salt and white pepper, add to the soup and continue to cook until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide the noodles evenly among the bowls; pour the miso and shrimp over the noodles. Serve immediately.
