Ginger and scallions is standard for many types of fish. We used to always have steamed fish several times a week when I was a child. My mom used to still the wine years ago when the ingredients were available. My favorite fish had tons of bones. The Cantonese called them soong yee. Many restaurants made that fish in congee. I have gotten away from eating much fish because my strange schedule and we don’t have dinner on a regular basis. But when I can retire, then I can eat on a more consistent time. Thanks for the video and making me hungry, lol. Great to see many people commenting and watching your videos.
Instead of dumping the fish water after steaming, I leave it on the plate, I never throw it away. It is yummy fish stock that adds more flavor to the dish at the end!
I marvel at how smart you are at knowing and cooking Chinese dishes. You have a beautifully infant son. Your also lucky enough to have a food channel in which you are gifted good knives and pans to use and hopefully keep. I am very sorry for your very early loss of a mother. That must have been very sad indeed. I have subscribed to your channel and hit the thumbs up button. I have a tendency to steam my fish in black bean sauce and loved it so much that I ate so much of it, now I am sick of it and should do your style which is how my parents did it.
Need to sprinkle salt and MSG onto the fish after it is steamed to season the fish. The soy sauce is not enough. Then add the ginger and scallions on top of the fish. Drizzle the HOT oil over the steamed seasoned fish. It must be very very hot. It makes all the difference in the world. Then add the soy sauce mixture
Forgot to say that minced raw garlic should be included with the ginger scallion mixture. Steam the fish again for a minute after the ginger scallion mixture has been added. It will take out the raw taste of the mixture. Then drizzle the HOT oil
Thank you for this video. I had this dish at MIMI CHINESE in Toronto, Canada. Their version included white leeks. Do you have suggestions for how I can include white leeks? Also thank you for calling it "Lunar New Year". A lot of Chinese people don't realize it isn't just a New Year for the Chinese, but for cultures that follow the lunar calender (Vietnam, Korea, Thailand, Burma, Laos, etc...
WHAT ABOUT BLACK BEN WITH GARLIC CHOP AND CHILLI AND SCALLION. THIS WAY STEAM IS MORE TASTY DELICIOUS AND YUMMY YUMMY. I LOVE TO STEAM THIS WAY WITH SESAMI OIL AT LAST ADD FEW DROP.THIS IS CANTONESE VERSION .OR HAKKA VERSION.
I love the recipe, but when you pour off flavor into drain I cried . Not really. Pour it into small bowl and save. After pouring last sauce over fish and green onions return flavor juices back to fish. But I am not sure about every kind of fish. Some are strong, maybe pouring off first cooking step is ok. Great cooking ma'am

Can I use trout?
Sure!
Where do u buy the branzino? I can’t find it in Asian market.
The Asian market by me actually sells branzino, but if you cannot find it there, any fish market should have it. Good luck!
Try sea bass. This was the way my parents cooked most of our fish dishes.
waw
What is shao xing wine?
