How to Make Steamed Fish With Ginger Mushrooms

  1. Prepare your fish: Gently pat 1 lb fish fillets (e.g., cod, snapper, or sea bass) dry with paper towels.
  2. Steam the fish: Place the fish fillets on a heatproof plate slightly larger than the fillets. This plate should fit comfortably inside your steamer.
  3. Prepare the ginger-mushroom topping: In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (cremini or shiitake recommended), 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar (optional: 1 teaspoon whiskey).
  4. Assemble and steam: Evenly distribute the ginger-mushroom mixture over the fish fillets. Place the plate in your steamer and steam for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Garnish and serve: Remove the fish from the steamer and garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander (cilantro). Serve immediately with steamed rice and enjoy!
  6. Optional: For extra flavor, add 1-2 Thai chilies (finely sliced) to the ginger-mushroom mixture.
