INSTRUCTIONS
This is one of the dishes that our instructor prepared in the Oriental Cooking Class. Instructor: Betty SooHoo Eng Mayland Community College Wash the fish under cold running water, pat dry with paper towel, sprinkle sale and pepper on both sides of the fish, arrange the fish on a heat proof platter. Pour in seasoning mixture evenly over the fish, arrange the shredded ginger and scallions on top of the fish. Place a steaming rack into a wok, pour in 6 cups of water or just below the rack level, cover, steam over high heat for 15-20 minutes. Serve hot. My notes: about the chinese seasonsings Black Bean Garlic Sauce - The bottle comes from China, is available at oriental food stores and even in our local "high end" supermarket. Ingredients: Fermented Black Beans, Garlic, Water, Salt, Sugar, Soy Bean oil. Maggi Seasoning Sauce - same availability- packed by Nestle in U.S. - Ingredients: Hydrolyzed corn gluten and soy protein salt and artificial flavor ( You could use a dark soy sauce instead) We used whatever wine we had in the refrigerator Not having a steamer here in the mountains we followed our teacher's suggestion for a makeshift one: We placed bamboo chopsticks in a latice fashion in the wok. Poured water below the chopsticks, and put the fish on a plate resting on the chopsticks. Covered the wok and steamed the fish. We used flounder. It tasted great Posted to JEWISH-FOOD digest V97 #242 by ruth tornick <spiderru@m-y.net> on Aug 31, 1997
