Steamed Red Snapper with Ginger and Soy 蒸红鲷


This post is long overdue.*_* This was our dinner two weeks ago, wait, or was it three weeks? Haha I seriously can't remember. Don't have much time of my own these days. It's never easy being a full time mum, doing chores plus cooking and trying to keep up a social life, well, not that I have any now. I am not complaining, motherhood is beautiful and such a blessing. ^_^

Ingredients
1 red snapper or fish of your choice
1 small piece ginger, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 stalks spring onion, cut into rings
Sprinkle of salt
2 tbsp cooking oil
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp rice wine
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp sugar
1/3 cup water

Method
Clean and scale the fish. Make three diagonal cuts on each side of fish. Sprinkle with salt inside and out.

Steam fish on plate or a steamer basket, covered, for 8-10 minutes over medium-high heat. Steaming time could be longer for bigger fish.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a pan and sauté garlic and ginger for 2 minutes till fragrant. Add all seasoning and water. Mix all ingredients well. Pour in the spring onion and give it a good stir.

Remove fish from steamer, drain and discard the juice. Pour the sauce over fish.

Serve immediately.
