Steamed Barramundi with Minced Ginger and Chinese Celery
Steamed Barramundi with Minced Ginger and Chinese Celery is a delicious and healthy dish. Barramundi is a type of fish known for its delicate flavor and tender texture. In this recipe, it is steamed to perfection, which helps retain its natural moisture and flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 whole barramundi fish cleaned and scaled
- 2 tablespoons minced ginger
- 2 stalks Chinese celery sliced diagonally
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
- green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Rinse the barramundi fish under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Make a few diagonal cuts on both sides of the fish. This helps the flavors penetrate and allows for even cooking.
- Rub the fish with salt and pepper, both inside and out.
- Spread the minced ginger evenly over the fish, making sure to get it into the cuts as well.
- Place a steaming rack or steamer basket inside a large pot or wok and fill it with water. Make sure the water level is below the steaming rack.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
- Place the fish on a heatproof dish that fits inside your steamer. You can also use a plate.
- Scatter the sliced Chinese celery over the fish.
- In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, and Shaoxing wine (if using). Drizzle this sauce mixture over the fish.
- Carefully place the dish with the fish onto the steaming rack.
- Cover the pot or wok with a lid and steam the fish over medium-high heat for about 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the fish. The flesh should be opaque and easily flake with a fork when done.
- Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the steamer and drizzle with sesame oil.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions.
- Serve the Steamed Barramundi with Minced Ginger and Chinese Celery with steamed rice or noodles.
