Guangdong, China: Steamed Fish

[CristianLagariniM]

Delicious!! an amazing dish. Healthy, tasty and easy to do.For all those ignorant creatures out there this is an authentic Chinese dish in Guangdong.

[2smemor]

well this is not the tradition way to steam a fish, its more like westernised steam fish

[dojokonojo]

How fast did she say this was again? In total I could make this in under an hour?

[sky00002]

i dont know about the taste and ingredients. But her technique is good. I mean ingredients and taste is subjective. different household has different ingredients choices .

[TheMrMobo]

FYI USA is the one most responsible for global warming

Get educated.

[applejuicecanada]

The hostess really LACKS basic knowledge of cooking period! Shame!

[Qjemuse]

hmm this is abit wrong but what can I say its catered to westerners

when you got the chance tho just try the original. you;d never wanna go back to any other way of cookling fish again

[OIOcellOIO]

Yeah. I'd eat the bajeezus outta that.

[baboon500]

wow this is like comfort food for us and its healthy too

[OGxDocTa]

True Cantonese dish, Ginger Scallion fish. Most Chinese-American restaurants don't even have this on the menu. This dish and steamed chicken is what I grew up off.

[ysssuhi]

@OGxDocTa no one gives a fuck what you grew up off of chink !

[OGxDocTa]

@ysssuhi no one gives a fuck what you give a fuck about fag ass racists. Hide behind a computer and talk shit loser. If you dont give a fuck then don't reply like a dumb shit.

[beatlejn]

@OGxDocTa Amen! Love it! my parents love putting peanuts and pickled radish on the fish before the oil.

[FarewelI]

@rdf7777 Ha-ha? Wow, funny.. Not. Stereotypical hypocrite. How pathetic are you..

[VoxCebu]

hey dont start a flame war T-T lol. "Ingredients have no boundaries." -Michiba, Rokusaboro.

Food can be made and enjoyed in limitless ways, and there can be no "right" way to do things, or How to handle certain foods. I really believe that after seeing it all in action.

oh this recipe is meant to be quick and easy, so..I bet they told her not to go into too much detail of why this why that, how come this, that etc...

=D

[BushiBato]

Chidori san,O genki desu ka.I think you are close but there is the fine line of failure in your comment if not careful.There are MANY right ways,but there are Wrong things especially in waza(technique for those following at home lol)Bad technique and you will ruin the best ingredients,great technique and you can make oishii feasts from junk.Ok not literally but wakarimasu.If you know this and simply stated your opinion for those who are beginning to cook,gommen ne.Thank you for a good comment.

[chidoriookami]

Dai jo bu =O oh of course, im sorry if it seemed like I was saying that food can be enjoyed in limitless ways regardless of taste or harmony with the ingredients lol. You're right, the key to making these "limitless" ways of using ingredients, and expressing "no boundaries" is making sure the things you use in ur cooking harmonize to please a person's taste ^^

im not a chef, but i love to eat haha.

hai douzo, thank you for ur reply too.

[BushiBato]

Soka(I love scattering in my little tidbits of Nihongo that I actually know)Well,I just found your comment as the perfect bridge for what I thought was an important point for ME to make,I hope it is Daijoubu,Daijoubu.Hey do you watch Cooking with Dog?

[chidoriookami]

lol yup of course xD i love cookingwithdog

[aquaphotoboy]

Easy to cook and fantastic results. Thanks for sharing

[orionpirates]

What the hell is this? This is not Cantonese style steamed fish. Its suppose to be a whole fish from head to tale. Add green onion, ginger, garlic, and soy sauce.

Most Important - The fish must be fresh

Don't overcook.

[afrohorse1000]

@orionpirates To answer your question. This is supposed to be more refined for a more fine dining or the general public who are used to eating fillet fish and not a whole with the head on. I would prefer the traditional preparation, but if you plan to reproduce this for an upscale Chinese restaurant, people prefer the ease of getting to fish. Similar to how, in fine dining seafood restaurants, lobsters are cracked open for easy access and require no hands.

[afrohorse1000]

also the general public do not like dealing with fish bones :)

[pickutina]

good people, should be teaching Plato ...

[unitedseven7]

she just doesnt know how to steam a fish

the most important thing of steaming a fish is the time and heat control

not the spice and sauce

u only add a little ginger and oil and soy sauce and a little bit green onion

the hardest thing is how you decide the steaming time

because you overcook it

the fat in the fish would be all melted on the dish but within the meat

you should cook it at a point that the fish is just cooked and the fat is not melted

she sucks.

GO Hong Kong

[unitedseven7]

#but not within the meat

[unitedseven7]

and she doesnt explain why people use ginger to steam a fish

the point is that some kind of fish from freshwater have strong fishy taste

People believe that ginger could take out fishy taste

[ranransao]

more delicious dishes from guangdong, fresh cat meat yummy

/watch?v=V4kMI7WhG28

[crazeycutie012]

You should get a life. Not all Chinese/Asian people eat cat meat, so you should stop stereotyping and acting so ignorant. But its ok because that just shows everyone your maturity level.

[Fantic80]

The stupidity of that Yank woman just blows me away. Why is she even there?

Anyway, back to the dish. I think you put too much fish on the plate. That would get really boring, very fast as a meal. Needs more veg of a lot less fish, maybe 1/4.

[philipuy]

used chicken powder and light soy sauce add a lil sesame oil and the steamed fish will taste better 5spices distroyed the fish original favor. crazy chef.

[cutietho]

i think you are rite .....

[AboveControl]

@philipuy EVERYONE has different style of making steam fish.

[16051957]

Healthy, cheap, time consuming and relaxing. Will def be using this recipe for a dinner date. Thanx for sharing....5/5

[Accordsir1]

steam fish only takes 2 mins to cook, so wtf is this video take 8 mins?

[lacongerasambera]

ur

bad

[NX74656]

This was a really great video. Thanks for posting this.

[nadiaceylon]

c'mon people watch and learn something

without letting ur frustration out on

everything.

[fatsotomuscles]

Where's the garlic? And she should have cross-cut the bok-choy!

[lovexoxohug]

why people want to comment like this ? we asians eat like this. if you dont like this recipe. alter yourself!!!

[mickangel2002]

she did not do the basic things right, u should never apply salt to the fish before steaming, as it will drain the juice.

[b155jw]

this is a cooking page.. not a debate... dun watch then if u really hate chinese....

[mickangel2002]

i really wonder if this chef know how to cook proper food, she surely can not speak proper english, why put salt on fish when u r steaming it, lt break the texture of the fish!

[kentpaul65102]

I think the texture of the fish was just as consistent as it was supposed to be.

[waassappening]

i don't get it. what does english ability have to do with cooking ability. and all things considered, i found her very understandable.

[dechicken]

Oh my FUCKING GOD! That is not how you steam a fish! You never put soy sauce before steaming.  That is not how you should done it. Is that seafish or river fish? Well, I don't blame you cause you are mandarin. -.- Please teach something you are strong at! You are distorting Cantonese cuisine.

[littledustball]

cooking is something anyone can play with. there is no set way to do something. GuangDong people can speak mandarin too, in fact most mainland china people can. just because you're cantonese doesn't mean you can't be mandarin too. :/ calm down.

in fact, if you're so against it, why don't you show us how you steam a fish? don't just sit here and complain when you can't seem to do anything either =)

[dechicken]

True but this women is a teacher. That is the problem. You might end up screwing up your entire class. The reason that I brought up ethnicity is most mandarins do not live by sea or river. They don't have much access to fresh fish. Thus, they are not good at cooking fish.

This has nothing to do with language and shit. =) And last, commentary is made for criticizing. I will not make a video, cuz steam fish is never a good dish for non-Asian.

[holyspectral]

I slightly do agree with you dechicken. This woman is a teacher and she needs to know or at least be able to differentiate how to properly prepare the dish the traditional way if she wishes to label it from a specific region. Yet as always, there are many different ways to prepare things traditionally that I don't know everything about as I am but an amateur in cooking. Anyways, thanks for putting up the video. It reminded me that my mom cooks steamed fish, just not in this particular way.

[johnmair]

so what's the best way to steam the fish? :) im curious :)

[cjason123]

kinda true..firsh from the sea tend to be saltier, so soy sauce can be limited. the kind of sauce one uses can also be a factor in the taste. there are dark ones and lighter coloured ones, just like olive oil (virgin or otherwise).

[lareinamelb]

GO China Go!

J'adrore cette recette ! et cette province!!

Cheers!

[Chungchile]

給老外吃

[hydejing]

best

[holleyland]

Global warming, lead poisonous toys, deadly toothpaste, pesticide contaminated pet foods, cancerous colored fabrics, and now tainted milk products to kill their own children and children in the world. What else in the future? You know who must be blamed for continuously killing people around the world like that. Unfortunately, nobody can stop it.

The only one way to protect yourselves and your loved ones is to stay way from any products MADE IN CHINA

[lareinamelb]

Toi, tu pues vraiment!!!!

[littledustball]

WTF? you're blaming fucking global warming on China? dude, you need to stop being a fucking hater and stop generalizing people.

alright, so one american killed a person. OMG ALL AMERICANS ARE MURDERERS!!!!....

...see how ridiculous that sounds? the only way to protect yourself is STOP BEING A RACIST!!! TREAT EVERYONE THE SAME!!! just because you feel threatened by china's growing economy, doesn't mean it's "dangerous". :/

[ERdept1]

Tasty dish, and the food wasnt' bad either! Funny she's from Epicurious but doesn't know what carry over cooking is.

[cjason123]

well, since everyone hasve walked into a dollar store and have bought at least a trinket or two, we're all guilty.

[holyspectral]

True, but also pointing fingers doesn't always solve things. We're still guilty of poisoning the atmosphere with unnecessary carbon dioxide poisoning (and I do comprehend the fact that we ourselves expel CO2) from our cars. So maybe a solution is stop making that the only way and start taking a bus or ride a bike to where ever you wish to go.
