Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, snapper, or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 stalks green onions, finely sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon rice wine (optional)
- 1 cup water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Prepare your steaming setup: fill a wok or large pot with about 1 inch of water, place a steaming rack inside, and bring the water to a boil.
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the fish with salt and black pepper.
In a heatproof plate or shallow dish that fits inside your steamer, arrange the fish fillets in a single layer. Scatter the sliced ginger and shiitake mushrooms evenly over the top of the fish.
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine (if using), and 2 tablespoons of water. Pour this sauce mixture over the fish and mushrooms.
Carefully place the plate of fish onto the steaming rack inside the wok or pot. Cover with a lid and steam over medium heat for 12–15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and green onions, and sauté for 1–2 minutes or until aromatic.
Remove the steamed fish from the steamer and carefully transfer it onto a serving platter. Pour the garlic and green onion mixture over the top of the fish.
Garnish with extra green onions or cilantro if desired, and serve hot with steamed rice or your favorite side dish.
