Healthy Chinese Steamed Fish Breakfast

Servings: 4

Prep Time: 15 mins

Cook Time: 20 mins

Total Time: 35 mins

Ingredients:

  • 1 Whole White Fish (like sea bass, halibut, or flounder)
  • 3 slices Fresh Ginger
  • 2 stalks Scallions
  • 3 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 0.5 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1 tbsp Cooking Wine
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 0.25 cup Cilantro
  • To taste Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Instructions:

  1. Clean the fish thoroughly. Make several diagonal cuts on both sides of the fish. Rub sea salt inside and outside the fish. Set it aside.
  2. Arrange sliced ginger and half of scallions in the bottom of a steamer. Place the fish on top and sprinkle with cooking wine. Steam over high heat for about 15 to 20 minutes or until cooked through.
  3. While the fish is steaming, prepare the sauce. In a bowl, mix together soy sauce and sesame oil.
  4. Once the fish is cooked, remove the steamer from the heat. Pour away any water that's been released by the fish. Lay the remaining scallions over the fish.
  5. Heat the sauce over medium heat until hot, and then pour it over the scallions and fish. This step helps release the aroma of the scallions and soy sauce.
  6. Garnish the fish with cilantro and serve immediately with freshly ground black pepper on top. Enjoy this healthy and satisfying Chinese seafood breakfast!
