Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 1/2 | medium grain rice |
| 2 | rice vinegar |
| 6 | soy sauce |
| 4 | red snapper fillets |
| 4 | salt |
| 4 | fresh ginger |
| – | green onions |
| 4 | vegetable oil |
| 3 | sesame oil |
Cooking Instructions:
-
Prepare Rice: Begin by cooking the medium grain rice according to the package directions. Ensure that it’s perfectly cooked to complement the flavors of the steamed fish.
-
Prepare Soy Sauce Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and soy sauce until well combined. Set aside for later use.
-
Prepare Foil Packets: Tear off four pieces of foil, each measuring about 12 x 6 inches. Place a red snapper fillet on each piece of foil.
-
Season Fish: Turn up the edges of the foil around each fish fillet to create a rim, ensuring that it forms a tray that can hold liquids without spilling. Season each fillet with salt to taste.
-
Add Sauce and Aromatics: Spoon equal parts of the prepared soy sauce mixture onto each fillet. Sprinkle freshly grated ginger and finely chopped green onions on top of the fish, adding layers of aromatic flavor.
-
Steam Fish: Set up a large steamer, whether bamboo or metal-mesh type, and place two packets inside. Cover the steamer and steam the fish until it becomes flaky and cooked through, which typically takes around 6 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
-
Repeat and Serve: Repeat the steaming process with the remaining fillets until all are cooked to perfection. Carefully remove the foil packets from the steamer, ensuring to reserve any cooking juices.
-
Serve: Place each steamed fish fillet over a bed of cooked rice and drizzle with the reserved cooking juices for an extra burst of flavor.
