How to Make

  • Step 1: Bring 2 cups cold water to a simmer in a large wok over medium heat.

  • Step 2: Line a 30cm bamboo steamer with baking paper and place steamer over water.

  • Step 3: Place fish in steamer and cover and steam for 5 to 10 minutes or until just cooked through (timing will depend on thickness of fish and you could use blue eye, snapper or ling fish are suggested).

  • Step 4: Personally I would use my electric 3 tiered steamer to steam the fish.

  • Step 5: Carefully transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

  • Step 6: Meanwhile combine coriander, onion and chilli in a bowl.

  • Step 7: Combine ginger, garlic, sugar and soy sauce in a heatproof bowl.

  • Step 8: Place peanut oil and sesame oil in a saucepan over high heat and cook for 2 minutes until starting to smoke and then carefully pour over ginger mixture (CAREFUL it will spit).

  • Step 9: Drizzle ginger mix over fish and top with coriander mix and serve with rice and greens.
