Steamed Sea Bass

As i have said again and again, being thousand of miles away from the coast, i do not have the luxury of fresh fish and have to depend on frozen ones. These frozen sea bass steak is one of the best that i have eaten and the best part is, i could steam them.



Ingredients:

1 piece Sea bass steak

1 tsp tapioca starch

2 tbsp julienned ginger

2 cloves sliced garlic

1 shallot - sliced

1 tbsp shaoxing wine

1 tbsp fish sauce

1 tbsp soya sauce

2 tbsp cooking oil

1 tbsp sesame oil

a dash of pepper

1 stalk sping onion

coriander for garnishing

Method:

Pat dry the sea bass steak and coat lightly with tapioca starch.

Put into a deep dish , spring onion then the sea bass steak.

Top the sea bass steak with the julienned ginger, sliced garlic, sliced shallot and all the other ingredients except the coriander.

Bring the water in the steamer to the boil, and put the sea bass steak to steam until it is cooked - to test - prick the center of the steak and if it can be pricked through, it is done, do not overcook fish - it will not be good eats.

Garnish with coriander and serve hot
