I loved it!! I tweeked it a little though. I added some Dry Sherry and some water to the fish and then I added the ginger. Excellent. Don’t forget the dish or caontainer for the Fish or else you’ll have a mess stuck onto your Bamboo Steamer. I’ll make it again and again…..
LOVE it! I use tilapia filets and it’s so easy to make. My kids and I enjoy it evey time I make it. Thank you!
Great and easy recipe. Very quick to prepare and everyone loved it.
quick, easy, tastes great!
Ingredience are missing.
after steaming for 8 minutes i put a generous amount of soy sauce on the fish and green onions and then streamed on the hot peanut oil to make it sizzle. a little dash of sesame oil and it was good to go. this dish was so easy and very quick and most of all, delicious. along with the lion head recipe and steamed rice we were set. i would make this again in a minute.
I saw this recipe being prepared by Ming Na and it’s different than what the recipe states.
The fish was steamed w/ ginger only. Before pouring the hot oil over the fish, she pour soy sauce over the fish, top the fish with green onions and then poured the hot oil over the fish.
