Steamed Tilapia

Steamed Chinese Style Tilapia

Another simple easy fish recipe. All of the flavour comes from the ginger, soy sauce and scallions. If you you feel you need more flavour, you can try adding a few drops of sesame oil and garlic.





Ingredients:
1 whole Tilapia
4 tablespoons of Soy Sauce
1 teaspon cornstarch
¼ cup shredded ginger (matchsticks)
dash of salt
scallions, chopped

1. Wash fish and pat dry.
2. Sprinkle the salt over the fish
2. Rub the cornstarch and soy sauce together over the fish
4. Place the fish in the pie pan and place the pie pan on a steamer filled with several inches of water.
5. Place the sliced ginger over the fish.












5. Steam for 15-20 minutes
6. Five minutes before the tilapia is cooked, throw in the a small amount of scallions over the fish. (The point of this is to get the flavor of the scallions but not to overcook the scallions)
7. When fish is done, throw in the remaining scallions and add soy sauce or vegetable oil to your liking!
