Steamed Grass Carp

This steamed fish recipe is a fragrant and flavorful dish that highlights the natural taste of fresh fish, enhanced by aromatic scallions, ginger, and garlic. The fish is expertly marinated with a blend of cooking wine and salt, then steamed to tender perfection. What makes this dish special is the double layering of fresh scallions, ginger, and garlic—first during marination for deep flavor infusion, then again just before serving for a vibrant, aromatic finish. A touch of chili peppers adds a subtle heat, while soy sauce or fish sauce brings a savory umami depth. The slow steaming process ensures the fish stays moist and flaky, absorbing all the rich flavors. Perfect for a healthy and delicious meal, this recipe is simple yet impressive, making it ideal for both weeknight dinners and special occasions. Enjoy a restaurant-quality steamed fish at home with this easy-to-follow method!

After marinating, remove the scallion and ginger shreds, rinse the fish with water, and add scallion, ginger, and garlic shreds with soy sauce (fish sauce) on top. Steam for about 20 minutes, then turn off the heat, remove the scallion and ginger shreds, and add new scallion and ginger shreds and garlic mince (put the garlic mince on the surface of the fish first, then add the scallion and ginger shreds).
