I adore the Chow and Chatter facebook recently we were talking about different cooking methods and the sweet Min Choi linked up the wonderful clip below of a simple steamed fish with ginger, scallions and five spice. The method is pure genius using a wok type pan with boiling water, a ramekin and plate with a lid to steam, no steamer needed. This whole meal is super healthy and can be made in 20 minutes what's not to love.
Ingredients:
- 4 pieces of sole or any thin white fish
- 3 tablespoon of rice wine vinegar I used mirin
- 3 tablespoon of soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon of Chinese 5 spice powder
- a small piece of fresh ginger cut in Julienne about 15 pieces
- a teaspoon of sugar
- one tablespoon of soy sauce and one tablespoon of oyster sauce mixed with a pinch of sugar for bok choi
- a couple of bunches of baby bok choi chopped
- 1/2 a teaspoon ginger/garlic paste
Method:
- combine the soy sauce, mirin, 5 spice and sugar and mix cover the fish with it and allow it to marinate for 30 minutes with the ginger
- as it marinates cook the rice
- heat a little canola oil add ginger garlic paste to it and add bok choi, cover with a lid and let it steam in its own moisture for 5 minutes on medium heat
- add the soy sauce, sugar and oyster sauce to it and put aside
- then get a large wok add a little water to the base and allow it to come to a boil, add a ramekin
- once it is producing steam add the fish with some marinade and fresh ginger on top to a plate, place on top of the ramekin add the lid and steam for exactly 4 minutes
- serve the fish with the bok choi and rice
- enjoy
