Hazırlanışı

Adım adım

1
Rinse the whole fish thoroughly under cold water, then pat it completely dry with paper towels.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
2
Place the fish on a heatproof plate that fits inside your steamer. Insert some of the sliced ginger and scallion pieces into the scored cuts and the cavity of the fish.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: Ensure the plate is elevated slightly so the fish does not sit in condensed water.
3
Set up your steamer and bring the water to a rolling boil. Carefully place the plate with the fish into the steamer, cover, and steam for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Yaklaşık 12 dk.
Aşçının notu: Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your fish. Avoid overcooking to keep the fish moist.
4
While the fish is steaming, prepare the chili topping. In a small bowl, combine the fermented salted chili, fresh red chili, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar.
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
Aşçının notu: Wear gloves when handling fresh chilies to avoid skin irritation.
5
Once the fish is cooked, carefully remove the plate from the steamer. Discard the cooked ginger and scallion from the fish and drain any accumulated liquid from the plate.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
6
Spread the prepared chili topping evenly over the steamed fish.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
7
Heat the peanut oil in a small pan until it is shimmering and just beginning to smoke. Carefully pour the hot oil over the chili topping on the fish; this will sizzle and release the aromatics.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: Be cautious when pouring hot oil. A sizzle indicates the oil is hot enough to awaken the flavors.
8
Garnish with fresh sliced scallion and serve immediately with steamed rice.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.

Yeniden ısıtma

Gently reheat in a steamer or microwave until just warmed through to prevent drying out the fish.
