Steamed Golden Cang Fish with Black Bean Sauce

Overview

In Guangdong, elderly people often say that you must have hot food to keep your body warm on cold days, especially on wet and cold days like the recent rain. This steamed fish with black bean sauce can fill a big bowl of rice with just the sauce. My son ate two bowls of rice last night because of this steamed fish. It’s delicious and simple, you might as well try it.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash the fish, make a few cuts on its back and body. The fish meat is thicker, so it will be cooked evenly and it will be easier for the soy sauce to absorb the flavor.

   

2. 2 Wash the tempeh, chop the ginger, and chop the green onion finely.

   

3. 3 Spread some salt thinly all over the fish, sprinkle ginger and black beans evenly, and drizzle with peanut oil and soy sauce.

   

4. 4 After the water boils, put the fish into the pot and steam over high heat. Steam the fish for 10-12 minutes depending on its size.

   

5. 5 Sprinkle with chopped green onion, cover and steam for half a minute.

   

6. 6 Once out of the pan, be sure to eat it while it's hot.
