Once in a while we would dig in a fabulous steamed fish after eating lots of rich flavoured dishes like curries and kurmas. The best fish to be steamed would be siakap or kerapu but bawal would also be good. Some would use kerisi for steaming, but for this recipe I have used a medium sized siakap that I got from Tesco recently. You do not need a long time to steam the fish. It will take about five minutes to cook. Besides, preparing the ingredients does not too much of your time either. That is why this dish is easy and fast and you can steam it a few minutes before having your meals provided that you have prepared all the ingredients before hand. Here it goes!
Ingredients
A steamer
Medium sized siakap, cleaned and marinade with some salt and pepper
3 inch ginger, thinly sliced
1 big onion, thinly sliced
3 garlic, thinly sliced
1 carrot, 1 inch sliced
1/2 zucchini, 1 inch sliced
2 fresh red chillies, thinly sliced
3 Table spoon dark soy sauce
3 Table spoon thin soy sauce
1 Table spoon oyster sauce
1 Table spoon fish sauce
1 Table spoon white and black pepper
salt, to taste
dried onions, as desired
some oil
Methods
1. Heat the steamer. When the steamer is hot, put the fish in. After that, put the sliced ginger on top of the fish and let it steam until tender.
2. When the fish is cooked, take it out and put it in a serving dish and you can then prepare the sauce. Leave the ginger on top of the fish.
3. In a pan, heat the oil and add in the garlic and onion. Cook until golden brown.
4. When they have turned golden brown, add in the dark and thin soy sauce, oyster sauce and fish sauce. Mix well. You may add some water if you wish.
5. Then, add in the carrots and zucchini. Cook for a while before adding in the salt, pepper and fresh red chillies.
6. Lastly, add in the dried onions and mix well.
7. Right before serving, sprinkle some dried onions and fresh chillies as garnishing.
