Steam The Fishes or Fried The Fishes… huh… ??!

I have finally decided to steam the fishes. Again I tried with the love Shau Shing Wine again. And I have bought this Fish Sauce few weeks ago, but still keeping it in the kitchen. Errrmmmhhh… This time I gonna use it!

Method:
*1. To make the fishes tasty – rub on 1/2 tsp Sesame oil and 1 tsp Oyster sauce.
* 2. To make the nice stocks – 1 tbsp of Shao Hsing Wine mixed with 1/2 cup water.
Then ~ Pour over (*1 and *2) fish and let it marinate for at list 15min.

I think suesue had influence you to put chilli padi into your food steam adventure...lol!!!!kekekekekke!!! I usually use a good liking and delicious(may not be expensive) soya sauce! Just to retain the "Sin Mei" seafood aroma.

wow heaty stuff... :P

u can make fish more absorbant. make a middle section opening on the fish and then only add ingredients. Store in fridge for half hr or more, thaw awhile and steam.

Add chopped spring onions after steam for decoration.

Shallots if fried gives out more aromatic. Fried shallots are normally used for dishes like steam fish. None fried shallots are used in vegetables.

Adding sesame seed oil can remove the fishy smell or u can add more ginger. Pounce the ginger first before slicing into finer pieces. the ginger will release its potent more naturally. Add a few dash of pepper after steam.

You can add toufu and tomatoes though. Normal teochew steamed fish is something like yours but added tomatoes, toufu and salted mustard greens, without fish sauce. :P
