Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Prepare the fish by rinsing it thoroughly and patting it dry with paper towels.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Ensuring the fish is dry helps it cook evenly.

Set up your steamer by filling a large pot with water and bringing it to a boil.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Ensure the water level is below the steamer basket.
4
Place the fish on a heatproof plate that fits inside your steamer basket.
