Como fazer 1 Favorite Chinese Steamed Whole Fish By Sy
- Clean and scale a whole fish (about 1.5-2 lbs), removing the insides. Leave the head and tail intact.
- Rinse the fish thoroughly under cold water and pat it completely dry with paper towels.
- Place the fish in an oblong, oven-safe or microwave-safe dish. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of rice wine over each side of the fish.
- Let the fish sit for 5 minutes, then gently pour off the excess wine.
- Place 2 whole scallions (about 6 inches long) under the fish to create a platform, allowing steam to circulate underneath.
- **Steaming Method:** Fill a large wok or pot with about 2 inches of water and bring to a rolling boil. Place a heatproof rack or trivet inside the wok.
- Carefully place the fish dish on the rack, ensuring the water doesn't touch the dish. Cover the wok tightly with a lid.
- Steam the fish for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the fish from the wok. Discard the scallions and pour off any cloudy liquid from the dish.
- **Microwave Method (Alternative):** Place plastic wrap loosely over the fish dish. Microwave on high for 5-6 minutes, or until cooked through. Check for doneness with a fork.
- Sprinkle the cooked fish generously with freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste.
- Arrange thin strips of 2 scallions and 1 inch of peeled ginger over the fish.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil and 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil in a small frying pan until it just begins to smoke.
- Carefully pour the hot oil over the fish (be cautious of splattering).
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of soy sauce evenly over the fish.
- Serve immediately with steamed white rice and your favorite Chinese vegetables (e.g., bok choy) topped with a teaspoon of oyster sauce.
