Dinner 30 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 1 fresh ginger, 2 in (5 cm)
  • 6 green onions
  • 2 lb whole red snapper
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil, hot
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  • Bring a large pan of water to boil and set a steamer basket on top. Place a plate inside the steamer basket.
  • Peel the ginger with a spoon, then slice. Julienne half and set aside.
  • Cut the green onions into 2-3 inch (5-7 cm) pieces. Thinly slice half and set aside.
  • On the plate in the steamer, place the sliced ginger and cut green onions. Place the whole fish on top and cover with the lid. Steam for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through--check by poking a chopstick through the thickest part of the flesh. Remove the fish from the steamer and transfer to a serving platter.
  • Make the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the sugar, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well.
  • Scatter the sliced green onions and julienned ginger over the fish, then pour the hot oil and sauce on top.
  • Enjoy!
