Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008
Traditional, Healthy Easy, and Simple way to steam fish, plus who doesn’t love a little Asian Fusion sensation on their Dinner Plate.
Ingredients
- 3tbl Fresh ginger, cut into long thin strips
- 1 Bunch green onions/Scallions, very finely sliced
- 2 whole snapper or other firm white fish, scaled, gutted, and washed
- 5 Butter lettuce leafs
- 2tbl Sesame oil
- 4tbl Soy sauce
- 2tbl Fresh minced garlic
- 1tsp White pepper
Procedure
- Combine the ginger, garlic, green onion, and white pepper, set aside
- Lay the lettuce leafs in the bottom of the steamer
- Place the fish on top of the leafs and steam for 10-15 minutes
- When is done place the fish on a large serving dish
- Sprinkle the green onions and ginger over the fish
- Heat the oil slowly until it is very hot
- Pour the hot oil over the fish and it should sizzle and release the flavors from the aromatic ginger and green onions
- Sprinkle the soy sauce over the fish and serve immediately with rice
