Ginger Soy Steamed Fish
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds halibut, cut into 4 pieces
  • 3 green onions, cut into 3 inch lengths
  • 2 fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 6 leaves napa cabbage, sliced into 4 inch pieces
  • 2 slices fresh ginger root, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/8 cup water
  • crushed red pepper flakes to taste
  • fresh cilantro sprigs, for garnish
Instructions
1
Position half of the green onions at the base of the steaming container, as utilizing a vessel with a lid is crucial for maintaining the steam and juices surrounding the fish.
2
Place half of the mushrooms and Napa cabbage sections on top of the onions, creating a layered effect.
3
Position the fish fillet above the vegetables, ensuring it is fully covered.
4
Sprinkle a pinch of ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes over the fish for added flavor.
5
Layer the remaining green onions, mushrooms, and Napa cabbage sections on top of the fish, completing the vegetable arrangement.
6
Drizzle a moderate amount of soy sauce and water over the entire dish, enhancing the flavors.
7
Carefully place the steaming container into a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, covering it with a lid to trap the steam.
8
Allow the dish to steam for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes effortlessly with a fork.
9
Finish the dish by garnishing it with cilantro, if desired.
