Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tbsp White fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or snapper)
  • 2 tbsp fillets, soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp Rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp Fresh ginger (grated)
  • 2 Scallions (sliced)
  • Red chili (sliced) or chili oil optional, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Method
 

  1. First Step
    Mix soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar (or lime juice), chopped garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl. Mix well and put the sauce aside.
    Second Step
    Place the white fish fillets on a heat-safe plate. Set the plate inside a steamer basket over boiling water.Put a lid on it and steam it for 8 to 10 minutes. Use a fork to poke the fish; if it flakes easily, it’s ready to eat.
    Third Step
    Carefully remove the fish from the steamer. Spoon the sauce evenly over each fillet. Sprinkle with sliced scallions, chopped cilantro, sesame seeds, and a few chili slices or a few drops of chili oil, if you like a bit of heat.
    Fourth Step
    Serve the fish hot. It goes nicely with steaming jasmine rice and easy-to-cook vegetables like bok choy, broccoli, or snap peas. The sauce gets straight into the rice, so don’t waste any!
