Kim Dae-seok's Steamed Rockfish

Steamed rockfish with a moist, chewy texture and a savory-sweet custom soy sauce marinade, made from semi-dried rockfish

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Semi-dried rockfish is usually pre-salted during processing, so be careful not to over-season the sauce with soy sauce to avoid excessive saltiness and maintain a clean, balanced flavor
  • Freshly steamed rockfish is delicate and prone to tearing or crumbling if removed immediately after cooking; letting it rest in the steamer for 10 minutes helps preserve its shape and structure
  • Soaking the fish in rice washing water before steaming replenishes moisture, preventing dryness on the surface and ensuring a tender, chewy interior

Recommended for

  • Those who want to experience the unique chewy, elastic, and clean texture of steamed fish, different from braised fish.
  • Those looking for an elegant and refined seafood dish suitable for holidays or special guest meals.
