Steamed Fish Alahoy!




This is my own version of Steamed Dory. Try it!











Ingredients:

for steamed fish:

3 to 4 dory fillets, sliced into 2
a dash of salt and pepper for rubbing the fish
1 tablespoon of sliced ginger, (you can also use ginger powder but do not sprinkle too much)


Rub fillets with salt and pepper. Put water in you steamer then place the fish on your steamer rack. Place the ginger on top and on the sides of the fish and steam for at least 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside.



for the sauce:

1/4 cup of light soy sauce
2 1/2 cups of water (if you find it too salty add more water)
1 tsp. grated ginger
4 tsps of brown sugar (add more if you want it to be sweeter)
1 tsp. oyster sauce
1/2 tsp of sesame oil


In a saucepan put all ingredients together and mix it well. Simmer to a boil.




for garnishing:

1 whole garlic or at least 10 cloves of garlic, chopped finely
1/2 cup of spring onions, chopped


Fry garlic in cooking oil until golden brown, be careful do not burn the garlic. Set aside.



for platting:

Put steamed fillets in a serving platter, pour the sauce and topped it with toasted garlic and chopped spring onions. Serve hot. Bon Appetit! c",)



note: If you want the sauce to be thicker add 1 tsp of cornstarch diluted in a half cup of water and add it to the sauce. Let it boil for at least 2 minutes.
