Steamed fish

The key to eating fish is freshness, and steaming is the best cooking method to experience the freshness of fish. If you think that steamed fish is just about putting it in a pot and steaming it, you are totally wrong. To say that you are ignorant of diet is an understatement. You are simply wasting a God-given delicacy. Cooking steamed fish is also a science. From selecting fish to adding ingredients, from plating to putting it into the pot, from the heat to steaming, every step has its own requirements. Of course, the taste can be adjusted according to your own preferences, but the heat and the amount of steaming are the basic guarantee for the "freshness" of steamed fish, and no carelessness can be allowed.

【Basic steps】

Step 1: Fish selection: The weight of the fish should be controlled at around 500 grams. The appearance of the fish on the fish plate is secondary. The key is that the degree of doneness is easier to control.

Step 2: Shaping the fish: After cleaning the fish, use a knife to cut off the fish spine from the abdomen to prevent the fish from deforming due to shrinkage of the bones after steaming. Spread lard evenly on both sides of the fish body, and then apply a little white wine.

Step 3: Seasoning of the fish: Mix a small amount of meat cubes with a little soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, minced ginger, and minced mushrooms, and put them into the fish's belly. This will not only make the fish taste fresher, but also make the steamed fish appear plump.

Step 4: Fish plating: Take large pieces of old ginger and the middle section of green onion, cut them into thin long strips of even length, spread them on the fish plate, and sprinkle some green onion and ginger strips on the fish after putting it on the plate. When it is cooked, it will be both beautiful and evenly flavored.

Step 5: Cooking time of fish: Cooking time is the key to steaming fish. Like many steamed dishes, make sure the water in the pot boils before putting the fish into the pot. Steam for 6 to 7 minutes and then turn off the heat immediately.

Step 6: Steaming the fish: So-called steaming means turning off the fire and not opening the pot lid. Use the residual heat in the pot to steam the fish for another 5 to 8 minutes. Then pour the prepared soy sauce, vinegar and a little cooking oil all over the fish.
