Recipe for Lunar New Year Prosperity Fish
Ingredients
For 2 servings
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 2 tbsp hot water
- 1 whole tilapia
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 1 knob of ginger, thinly sliced
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 bunch cilantro
Step by step
step 1
Combine soy sauce, salt, sugar, and hot water in a small bowl. Set aside.
step 2
Rinse fish and pat dry. Prepare your steaming set-up, making sure to fill the pot with 2 inches of water. Cover and steam the fish until cooked through, approximately 8-10 minutes. Check for doneness with a butter knife; it should easily fall through the thickest part of the fish.
step 3
Heat cooking oil in a pan over high heat and quickly stir fry half of the sliced ginger and scallions for 1 minute. Add the soy sauce mixture and cook for 30 seconds.
step 4
Garnish the fish with the other half of the sliced ginger and scallions and the cilantro. Pour the hot soy sauce mixture over the fish. Enjoy!
