Steamed Wuchang Fish

This steamed fish recipe is a classic Chinese dish that’s tender, aromatic, and bursting with savory flavors. Fresh fish is marinated with cooking wine and salt, then steamed to perfection with scallions and ginger for a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture. The magic happens when hot oil infused with peppercorns is drizzled over the fish, enhancing its natural sweetness with a rich, aromatic finish. Light yet flavorful, this dish is perfect for a healthy, restaurant-quality meal at home. The combination of soy sauce, ginger, and scallions adds layers of umami, while the quick steaming locks in moisture for a juicy result. Simple yet elegant, this steamed fish is a must-try for seafood lovers looking for an easy, delicious, and nutritious dish.
