Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Sprinkling cooking wine or refined rice wine in the middle of steaming helps the alcohol evaporate, removing the fishy smell and firming up the fish flesh.
  • If you handle the fish while it's hot, the flesh breaks easily, so turn off the heat and let it cool completely before transferring to a plate or adding garnishes to maintain its shape.
  • If you store the steamed fish and reheat it later, lightly oil a frying pan and sear only the surface over low heat to bring out a savory flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those who need to prepare a neat steamed fish dish suitable for holiday ancestral rite tables according to etiquette.
  • Those who want to completely eliminate the characteristic fishy smell of semi-dried fish.
  • Those who want to complete a fish dish with intact shape without the flesh breaking apart.
