How to Make Sake Steamed Sea Bass

  1. In a large pot, combine 1 cup sake, 1/2 cup water, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon grated ginger. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer.
  2. Place a heatproof steamer basket inside the pot. Place a 1-1.5 lb sea bass fillet (skin on or off, your preference) on the steamer rack. Top the fish with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 2 chopped scallions, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil.
  3. Cover the pot and steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Remove the steamer basket. Stir 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro into the remaining cooking liquid in the pot.
  5. Serve the sea bass over 4 servings of cooked rice. Spoon the flavorful cooking liquid over the fish. Garnish with 1 teaspoon sesame seeds and extra cilantro, if desired.
