Simple Steamed Fish with Ginger, Shallots and Greens

[chidoriookami]

i was hoping to finally eat steamed fish again @_@ thank you so much

[myodel]

just did this =) thanks for uploading :D :D

[saprater25]

Super delicious recipe...but I made a mistake the second time I made this and used a pomfret, which is a very oily fish. It was still edible but not as good as when I made it with a non-oily, firm white fish.

[emteeo]

What about bones??

[drepah]

i've tried it...just now..

and it is delicious!! gonna eat now~ ;-p

thanks for the recipe!

[turtlepowersf]

Super good recipe, the fish is used i believe was the same as hers, taiwan bass, previously frozen but pretty delicious, they ran me about 8 bucks each and were about 1 1/2 lbs each. Also the sauce will taste way salty but is perfect once you top the fish since the fish itself is not seasoned

[staticwar3]

love, i can tell your not the one cooking...but thanks for showing me how to cook your steam fish!^^

[meidan89]

hi, you made a good video which is easy to learn! could you share more chinese recipe please? would keen to learn more. thanks!

[MsGracePhan]

Normally, we do this way of cooking to Barramundi ( In asia) anyway, the way we cook is quite different to your one, even the ingredients are almost the same, but I think the result taste is quite familiar . So. still good job !

[mozaks80]

Ughhhhh this is one of my favourites, nom nom nom

[QuickHealthyItalian]

i Really like your channel and your steamed fish recipe. I sent you one of mine. Thanks. keep making videos! Anna

[rdf7777]

cornstarch for what? usually used if you fry it. what does it serve buy doing this when steaming??

[mshybiscus]

I think we use it to make the fish smoother in texture but I havent tried without! As for the sauce, you probably dont need cornstarch for the sauce as I dont bother with it and it still comes out the same.

[ERdept1]

@rdf7777 Interesting, I've never used cornstarch myself. We just spooned the succulent juices the developed over the rice. Otherwise it was pretty spot on with the ingredients. We put all the ingredients on the fish raw, and then steamed it covered till it was done, approx. 10 min. Served over white rice.

[MagnumMaximus]

What else do you like to eat with steamed fish...what makes for a good side dish? I absolutely love your cooking videos btw.

[DC180]

niiiceee

[waepek87]

your voice is soothing,. nice video also,. 

[jahluva2000]

Great video. I loved the idead of letting th cilantro and green onions wilt a little, so its easier ro get bits of both of them on every bite of fish. And the hot oil and soy sauce is good too. I would have added some chopped thai chilis too, just to spice it up...but I guess thats more S.E. Asian style. Thanx

[keith2005rt]

I made this last weekend and it was da bomb. thanks for sharing and please make more vids

[arubyb]

perhaps you are unaware that the Pearl River in China where the soy sauce you are using is one of the most polluted and contaminated rivers in all of China, remember that when you use this product it is full of pestesides, heavy metals and human waste..check it out if you doubt

[dying2l]

can you cook rice with steam?

[ernestumyou]

Delicious!!!!

[prithvi9945548880]

What is the vessel you used to steam the fish?

[purplerain210]

I must have used this video 5 times to make this dish so far! Thx for feeding me = )

[mshybiscus]

@purplerain210 yay i'm glad!

[thetexaseagle]

Did you mention how many minutes you steam in the video? If you have a big fish, do you increase the steaming time, if so how many??

[mshybiscus]

@thetexaseagle Hmm, it's not an exact science and I'm definitely not a pro so I'm not sure how much longer! 

[bulok69]

@thetexaseagle you steam a fish until it's flaky, that's how you can tell it's done. to test, grab a fork like they did at the end and press a little, it should break apart easily. if it's still tough to cut then it's not done

[sevoak]

Looks delicious.

[5512unknown]

That's a white bass.

[MrBigblackdress]

Thank you so much for the video. My dad use to cook this all the time and I never learned it off him. But the step by step of the video really helps. I made it the other day and it turned out fantastic.

[elisabeta13]

wow, I really like your style of presenting and the fish is DELICiOUS.

Thanks a lot!!!!

[KillTheFear]

Great video. Going to try this out this weekend. :)

[heyitsvu]

I love how you have tiesto playing in the background. :] Thanks for the recipe as well. I've been working in Jakarta for 2 months had a request for this :)

[toskevhlub]

no salt no fish sauce?

[zhantonio]

@toskevhlub

the soy sauce is good enough when it mix with fish flesh..

BTW ，soy sauce contains a lot of salt

[KidsAtSports]

i cooked and it is NICE sweet tasty the texture rox but the sauce dun make it too like 'nong'

[CanadianIdolFan]

Thanks for uploading.  I love seeing how your family does this slightly different than my family. Steamed fish is one of my favourite dishes in the world! I cook salmon fillets this way too and it is delicious. My caucasian friends love it too!

[mshybiscus]

@CanadianIdolFan ooo we've never tried with salmon! I'll have to try it sometime!

[lovexoxohug]

i will use the cornstarch , it will thicken up my sauce mixture. THANKS! I LOVE YOUR VIDEO!!

[msmariamalibog]

I love the cooking and the way it was interpreted. Your voice perks the video too... Keep posting.

[KidsAtSports]

wat if i dun have corn strach

[mshybiscus]

@KidsAtSports Not a big deal =) Just make it without!

[jejomar14344]

how do you know if its already cooked?

[mshybiscus]

@jejomar14344 Hmm, my mom always says, "imagine what it looks like raw...now open your eyes! is it the same?" I'm not the best cook so thats the best advice I can give!

[kaiwkc]

@jejomar14344 simple, you can just use a chopstick to slighty stab the meat, if it is a smooth stab and the stick can be easily moved out, or you cant see any red inside, then the meat is cooked. Hope it helps.

[CanadianIdolFan]

@jejomar14344 experience! My parents have it down to an art. They cook rock cod this way, and they know if they use a ceramic plate to steam it, it takes 11 minutes, but a metal dish, they only cook for 10 minutes. They make a big deal if it is overcooked by even a minute.

[mshybiscus]

@CanadianIdolFan Good to know! Thanks for sharing!

[1cherrylane]

Some prefer to skip adding cornstarch to the sauce. Many Asian chefs prefer to pour the soya sauce directly onto the cooked steamed fish. They heat the oil in a pan by itself and then pour the hot oil directly onto the garnished fish...... sizzling sounds can be heard when the hot oil comes in contact with the fish and it's like music to the culinary ears.

[L9YOUP]

Solid recipe from New Zealand...

[msmakeupnfashion]

hi is that just a regular glass plate or is it something else i want one..

[mshybiscus]

@msmakeupnfashion It's not a glass plate it's...something called coraline? I forget, but anything like glass or unleaded ceramic plates should be just as fine =)

[mshybiscus]

@msmakeupnfashion It's made of corelle (spelling?) I think? It's not ceramic or glass but a special type of dish material that is more resistant to breaking.

[asalxlehplak]

whAT is the song's title?

[mshybiscus]

@asalxlehplak It's listed in the info: Tiesto - Not The Things You Say

[arielban1]

Thanks from Hollywood, California. I found this video last night and had to try it. This is a wonderful recipe. We and my neighbors enjoyed the dish tremendously. I used sea bass. As for the cornstarch, I did not understand why on the fish..didnt make sense. As for the shallots..wow, it made the difference. I really enjoyed the soy sauce, and yes, I used the River brand. Thank you mshybiscus. Thumbs up and I will keep this recipe. Again, you are very beautiful. Keep videos coming.

[mshybiscus]

@arielban1 Yes, I keep getting questions about the corn starch. Again, I'm no pro, I just record my awesome grandma but I guess that's just how she learned...I see many recipes that don't use cornstarch so it's probably unnecessary!

[hashilu]

by far the worst / overly and unnecessarily complex steamed fish recipe i have ever seen...

[jamalespy]

Fantastic I will make it today good for my diabetes too

[Ymi26c]

best steamed fish on youtube going to try it tonight

[alinestor1]

Thank you....what a presentation....you took a mystery out of steaming a whole fish....



[bananaxrepublica]

You got 3 hands =0 omg!

Can you make video for won ton soup or some other soup that is simple,but don't put too much strange things,cz some people from Europe are also watching ; ) Great videos you make,now i don't need my mom's advices so much :D

[timblink]

oh my god ! this is steam fish cooking method ??

now i know why everyone loves my steam fish coz I am a real chinese cook

[CuZziNtriGGa]

i got the same sauce pan......hahahah

[rdf7777]

why corstarch? your not frying it?

[hosenfeld123]

i wanna eat that....yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[SwampyGlacier]

The Chinese do this really well.

[sammietr]

There's no sugar to balance.

[REVIVALIST]

@sammietr We don't eat it by itself. We always eat it with rice for these kinds of things. Fish=Main Course +Rice=Complex Sugars= Balanced flavour

u dun always need rice, any food full of carbs can do like noodles{pasta} or even mashed potatoes. It's all up to you.

Very filling, lasts for hours,just watch for bones those critters are sneaky i got choked quite a few times

Be Careful and Cheerios:)

[vinquins]

Yeah ! Malaysian Style. Awesome tutorial ...

[LotusElise05]

Man, that looks better than restaurant quality fish. Great tutorial!

[saprater25]

It looks delicious, however, I wonder at all the oil. There seems to be a lot of it, and I'm trying to lose a bit of weight.

[binaylimbu]

good one i am trying it tonight

thankx :D

[vincentkcyu]

Nice background music!

[tuers4026]

Hey nice thanks and I like it

[ayuped]

Look delicious!

[laotakao]

Looks like Bass? Great job!

[mshybiscus]

Striped Sea Bass! I asked my dad afterwards, haha.

[coltwhat]

i love all your tutorials, i live on campus and this has helped satiate a lot of my home food cravings! =)

[mshybiscus]

Thanks! I pretty much starved when I moved off campus and had to fend for myself, haha

[jonjayCA]

Great film! I think you have talent in the film industry.

I got to tour the Pearl River soy sauce factory in Guanghoug China Aug of 2009. It was so humid I slipped and fell on my bum... I'll never forget =C ...

[mshybiscus]

wow you got to tour it?? did you get to taste different kinds? lol

[jonjayCA]

yes we did, we did a tasting paring different wines with all there sauces. They sent our culinary class 8 cases to use in our class at contra costa college

[insanehoney]

[mshybiscus]

Thanks! You should try it, it's SO DELICIOUS!
