Imagine a plate of perfectly steamed fish, its tender flesh infused with the bright, aromatic zest of julienned ginger and fragrant garlic, all enveloped in a savoury soy glaze. Each bite recalls the coastal charm of traditional Chinese kitchens, delivering a light yet flavourful experience that delights both the eyes and the palate.

Ingredients:

500 g Fish fillets
30 g Fresh ginger, julienned
60 ml Soy sauce
30 ml Rice vinegar
3 clove Garlic cloves, minced
5 ml Sesame oil
5 g White sugar
2 whole Spring onions, chopped

Instructions:

1 Step 1 - Prepare the Fish
Pat the fish fillets dry and season lightly with salt. Arrange them neatly on a steaming plate, ensuring they’re evenly spaced for uniform cooking.
2 Step 2 - Mix the Glaze
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, sugar, and julienned ginger. Stir well to create a fragrant, savory glaze.
3 Step 3 - Assemble the Dish
Pour half of the glaze over the prepared fish fillets. Sprinkle the chopped spring onions on top, then place the dish into a steamer.
4 Step 4 - Finish and Serve
Once steamed to perfection, drizzle the remaining glaze over the fish. Garnish with fresh spring onions and serve immediately.
