Soy Sauce Steamed Fish
Method
- To make the sauce fry onion in the pan with oil until soft, add the garlic and lemongrass fry until onion and garlic are slightly golden
- Add the sesame oil, Kikkoman Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, water, pepper and cooking wine (if avail) and cook for approx 3 minutes (this doesn’t need to be thick) and set aside to cool
- Pat the fish fry with a paper towel and cover with ginger sticks, pour the cooled sauce over the fish and steam for approximately 7-8 minutes (you want the fish to just pull apart)
- Remove the fish from the steamer and place spring onion over fish
- Heat up the oil in a pot until it starts to smoke, pour the oil over the spring onion and listen to that sizzle
- Garnish with chilli, a squeeze of lime and some coriander and enjoy
