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.

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

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!

@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.

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.

thanks for the recipe!

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
