STEAMED FISH WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE

Steps:

• If using a whole fish, make 3 deep diagonal slashes on each side of the fish.
• Chop the black beans; place half of the black beans, scallions, and ginger on a heat-proof plate that can be used in the steamer; place the fish on top.
• Sprinkle fish with the sugar, then pour the sherry or rice wine, soy sauce and oil on top; cover the fish with remaining black beans, scallions and ginger.
• For steaming I use my electric wok and place 2 chopsticks next to each other in one direction and 2 more next to each other in the opposite direction, creating a platform.
• Place the plate of fish on top of the steamer, over briskly boiling water, cover and steam 10 minutes for thick fillets, 20 minutes for whole fish and less than 10 minutes for thinner fillets.
• fish is finished when fillets flake easily or when a chopstick will easily pierce the gill area on whole fish.
• Remove to a platter and garnish with cilantro.
• Serve over steamed jasmine rice and make sure to spoon the black bean sauce over the whole thing; YUM.

COD WITH FERMENTED BLACK BEANS & SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Mix together rice wine, soy sauce, oil, garlic, and ginger in small bowl. Place fish in shallow glass or ceramic pan, sprinkle with salt, and then drizzle with rice wine mixture. Marinate for 1 to 15 minutes.
• Set up a steamer. I use the steamer that came with my electric rice cooker. Fill the bottom half full with hot water and turn it on to bring to a boil while you're preparing the dish.
• Line the steamer basket with cabbage, Chinese broccoli or spinach leaves.
• Put one fish fillet on each cabbage leaf. Drizzle marinade over fish, then sprinkle with black beans and scallions. Cover, turn heat back to high. Steam about 10 minutes and check for doneness. Using a long, thin knife, check to see if fillets are opaque and flake easily.
• To serve, slide the leaves with the fish onto an individual plate.
