Jung Ji-sun's Chinese-Style Seafood Steamed Dish

A Chinese-style seafood steamed dish where seafood is coated with starch and briefly fried in oil to lock in juices and maintain a moist texture, served with steamed vegetables and a special garlic XO sauce.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Coating seafood with starch and frying it briefly in oil helps retain its natural juices, resulting in a much softer and more tender texture.
  • For a balanced flavor, use garlic and sugar in a ratio of approximately 2:1—this creates a savory, slightly sweet Chinese-style sauce.
  • Avoid over-steaming the vegetables; cook them only until their crispness is slightly reduced to preserve the fresh crunch.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a different, Chinese-inspired seafood dish instead of the typical red seafood stew.
  • People who want to maximize the chewy and soft texture of seafood.
  • Fans of rich, sophisticated appetizers featuring deep flavors of garlic and XO sauce.
