Ingredients
- 2 lb Whole fish (cleaned weight)
- Â Â Rock cod, flounder, pomfret
- 2 tsp Salt
- 4 x Scallions
- 1 Tbsp. Ginger slivers
- 1 c. Stock
- 1 Tbsp. Dry gin
- 1/2 tsp Sugar
- Â Â Cornstarch paste
- 2 Tbsp. Peanut oil
- 1 sprg Chinese parsley
Directions
- For more people, use more than one fish. Each fish should be no more than 2 lbs. unless you have a very large steamer. Have your fishmonger clean and scale fish, leaving head and fins intact. You can tell if fish is fresh by the clearness of the eyes and a red tint on the inner edge of the gills.
- Wash and pat dry, rub with salt. Allow to stand at room temperature for 30 min.
- On both sides of fish, make parallel diagonal cuts 1" apart through meaty section. Trim and shred scallions diagonally in 2" lengths. Peel and shred fresh ginger root. Place pcs of scallion and ginger in cuts.
- Place fish on greased plate. Steam at rapid boil for 15 to 25 min, depending on size. Fish is cooked when you can flake flesh. Overcooking will toughen flesh, so watch closely.
- Heat peanut oil in beaker or possibly small saucepan. In wok, heat stock, gin and sugar. When fish is cooked, remove from steamer. Drain juices into stock mix. Thicken slightly with cornstarch paste. Pour warm oil, then stock mix, over fish. Garnish with Chinese parsley. Serve.
