Steamed Delicious Pomfret

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   Clean the small fish, making a small incision below the gills to remove the internal organs. Pull out all the organs, making sure to clean them thoroughly. Repeat the cleaning process three or four times.

   

2. 02

   Step 2

   I usually wash the fish directly in the bag that holds them, so as to avoid getting a fishy smell in the sink or basin.

   

3. 03

   Step 3

   After washing, arrange on a plate, slice ginger into shreds, and sprinkle with Sichuan peppercorns.

   

4. 04

   Step 4

   Turn on the heat and steam 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and let it sit 2 minutes. This is just right; steaming it for too long will make it tough.

   

5. 05

   Step 5

   While steaming the fish, prepare a soup. Heat a pan, add a little oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, and oyster sauce, and stir quickly over low heat.

   Step 6

   Once the fish is cooked and the broth has cooled, pour it over it. To add a touch of ceremony, I specially picked some crabapple blossoms from my mom's garden to garnish it. Enjoy!
