Steamed Whole Fish with Ginger, Spring Onions and Soy Recipe |
Ingredients
(Serves 2 to 4 as part of a multicourse meal)
675g whole white fish (such as sea bass or plaice), cleaned, with head and tail intact
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Piece of fresh ginger (5x1cm), peeled and finely sliced
60ml
Kikkoman Soy Sauce
1 tbsp
Kikkoman - Aji-Mirin (Sweet Cooking Rice Wine)
1 spring onion, white and light green parts only, finely sliced
4 coriander sprigs
120ml rapeseed oil
Method
Rinse the fish in cold water and pat dry with kitchen towel.
Season
the fish inside and out with salt and pepper.
Place the fish on a
heatproof plate that is large enough to accommodate it and fits inside
your
Steamer bending the fish slightly if it is too long.
Stuff half
the ginger inside the cavity of the fish, and spread the remaining
ginger on top of the fish.
Pour water into a wok or stockpot and set a steamer in the wok or on
the rim of the stockpot.
Make sure the water does not touch the botton
of the steamer.
Bring the water to the boil over a high heat.
Place the plate holding the fish in the steamer, cover and steam for
about eight minutes, until the fish flakes easily when tested with the
tip of a knife.
While the fish is steaming, in a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, rice wine and one tablespoon of water. Set aside.
When the fish is ready, carefully remove the plate from the steamer
and pour off any accumulated liquid.
Lay the spring onion and coriander
along the top of the fish.
In a small frying pan, heat the oil over a
high heat until it is hot but not smoking.
Remove the oil from the heat
and pour it directly over the spring onion and coriander to "cook" them.
Drizzle the soy mixture over the fish and serve immediately.
