with soy, scallions, and ginger
Ingredients:
1 whole siakap(sea bass)
2 inch fresh ginger (julienned)
3 green onions (julienned)
3 green red chillies (optional)
¼ cup oil
¼ cup water
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup soy sauce
Method:
- Steam whole fish for 15 minutes and turn off the heat. Use a butter knife to peek at the meat and confirm the fish is cooked through. The meat should be opaque down to the bone.
- Next, carefully pour off all of the liquid accumulated on the plate from steaming and spread half of the ginger, the green portions of the scallion, and the cilantro over the fish.
- Mix the water, salt, sugar, soy sauce or and fresh ground in a small bowl or measuring cup. Heat 2 tablespoons oil and the other half of the ginger in a saucepan until the ginger begins to sizzle and add in the sauce mixture. Heat the mixture until simmering.
- Once simmering, add the rest of the oil and white portions of the scallion and stir until the liquid begins to simmer and sizzle once again. Spoon the entire mixture evenly over the fish and serve hot!
