Steamed Dried Fish with Fermented Soybean

This Steamed Dried Fish with Fermented Bean Paste is a savory, umami-packed dish that brings together bold flavors and tender textures. The dried fish, soaked until soft, absorbs the rich aromas of stir-fried ginger, garlic, and fermented bean paste—a classic combination that delivers deep, complex taste. Lightly seasoned with soy sauce, a hint of sugar, and fragrant sesame oil, every bite is perfectly balanced. A splash of rice wine enhances the dish with subtle sweetness, while steaming in a pressure cooker ensures the fish stays moist and infused with flavor. Best served over freshly steamed rice, this recipe is a comforting, traditional favorite that’s both easy to prepare and irresistibly delicious. Perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a nostalgic taste of home-cooked goodness!
