Steps to make steamed fish with black bean sauce

1. Wash and dry the fish (be sure to remove the black membrane in the belly), and make a few diagonal cuts on both sides of the fish

Cut the green onion and ginger into shreds, apply the green onion and ginger shreds to the fish body and fish head, apply a small amount of salt to the fish body and belly, pour some cooking wine and marinate for about 10 minutes. (Note that only a small amount of salt can be sprinkled at this time, because the black bean sauce is salty)

2. Cut half of the chives into chopped green onions and roll half into green onion joints.

Rinse the marinated fish with water, take a steaming plate, put the washed fish on the plate, put the green onion segments into the belly of the fish, and spread the black bean sauce on the surface of the fish.

Add water to a steamer and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover the fish and steam for about 10 minutes (this time will depend on the size of the fish).

After the fish is steamed and taken out of the pot, move it to the fish plate. , sprinkle with chopped chives

Heat the oil, pour it on the chives, and it will be ready to serve

3. Make steamed fish, if it is not cooked properly or If the heat is not enough, the steamed fish meat will be dark in color and taste thick and fishy.

If you want the fish to taste fresh and tender, you must steam it quickly with high heat and boiling water, and make sure it is mature once. Steaming it twice will cause the fish to become old and lose its flavor. For example, for a flat fish of about 500 grams, the cooking time is generally about 10 minutes. If the time is too short, the fish will be undercooked, and if the time is too long, the meat will be rough and scummy.
