About This Recipe

This steamed bass recipe is a delicious and aromatic dish that highlights the natural flavors of fresh fish with a burst of umami. The bass is meticulously cleaned and marinated with scallions, ginger, and garlic, then steamed to tender perfection. A double-layering of aromatics ensures deep flavor infusion, while a final drizzle of sizzling hot oil enhances the texture. Topped with vibrant scallion threads, carrot shreds, and wood ear mushrooms, this dish is as visually stunning as it is tasty. The finishing touch—a savory fish sauce blend of steamed fish soy sauce, chicken powder, sugar, and pepper—adds a rich, balanced depth. Perfect for a healthy yet indulgent meal, this steamed bass is a restaurant-quality dish you can easily make at home!
