Turn to this dish on busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Steamed Fish with Ginger Cilantro Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons rice wine or sake
- 1 1/2 tablespoons minced ginger
- 1 1 /2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 Cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 4 boneless white fish fillet (dory, tilapia, or lapu-lapu)
Instructions
- Rinse fish fillets lightly under cold water and drain thoroughly in a colander; place in a bowl.
- Make the ginger marinade: Combine rice wine, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a bowl. Pour marinade over fish fillets and toss lightly to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let the fillets marinate in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
- Arrange fillets, skin side down (if there is skin), on a heatproof plate and place in a steamer basket.
- Place water in a wok, cover, and place over high heat to boil. Once water comes to a boil, lower heat to a fast simmer and place steamer basket on the wok. Make sure the water does not touch the steamer basket; discard excess water if necessary. Steam fish until the fish flakes when prodded with a knife, about 6 to 9 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish.
- Meanwhile, make the cilantro sauce: Pour soy sauce, water, sugar, and fresh cilantro into a saucepan. Allow to boil. Stir and turn off heat.
- Pour sauce over the steamed fillets and serve immediately.
