I grew up loving steamed fish. I was shocked when my 5 year old wanted a whole fish for dinner. I decided to make some Chinese steamed Tilapia.
Prepare the tilapia by removing the scales and snipping fins. Cut 3-4 slices of ginger and cut an 1 inch of ginger in thin sticks.
Slice some green onion in strips.
Prepare the steamer. I used a deep frying or pot filled with an inch of water. Start boiling the water.
Prepare the dish by laying down some green onion and ginger slices. Place the fish on top. Drizzle with soy sauce and
Place the fish into the steamer and cook for 15-20 min or until the fish is flaking apart.
While the fish is cooking, in a small frying pan add 3 tablespoon oil. Once the oil is heated up, fry the sliced ginger and onion. Turn off the oil and pour over the cooked fish.
