Lai Yee's Kitchen - Spicy Taucu/Fermented Soybean Paste Steamed Fish 酱蒸鱼
I love my food with gravy. When you have fresh fish, steaming them with sauce is the best way to enjoy. Steamed fish are healthy, easy to prepare and extremely delicious. It is even more so when paired with a simple fermented bean paste sauce. You can use this recipe to steam other types of fish like cod, grouper, red snapper, trout or bream and Nile Tilapia. Simple, fast and super comfort!
Ingredients :
- 1.5kgs snapper
- 2 tbsp oil
- 2" ginger or more(sliced)
- 2 medium size red onions
- 2 whole garlic
- 8 cut chili padi
- 4 stalks coriander with roots
- 5 tbsp taucu/fermented soy bean paste
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tbsp white pepper
- 2 tbsp cooking rice wine (optional)
- 2 big lime juice or 3 tbsp juice(I have added the lime pulp too)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- cut spring onions for garnishing
If your fish is not big or thick, you need just 8 mins of steaming with the fire stove. If you are cooking with an induction stove like mine, then you need 15 mins of steaming. If you have a big fish, then you will need slightly longer BUT not too long. Make sure you boil the water in the wok before you put the fish to steam.
You can also fry the sauce ingredients in a wok first with oil. Steam the fish without any sauce, once the fish is ready then pour the fried sauce over. This way is equally delicious. Try it! I love 酱蒸鱼 Spicy taucu steamed fish!
