30 Minutes Recipe

Cooking can be time consuming sometimes. Without you realize, you spent hours at the kitchen just to make one dish and you absolutely ran out of time for doing other things. That is why I am a big fan of 'little cooking time' recipe. One of the recipe I found very easy and practical is this Hongkong Steamed Fish. I usually use a steamer with timer, which helps me a lot in preparing the dish. This is the look of my steamer:

The complete recipe is as follows:

Hongkong Steamed Fish (for 2 persons)

Ingredients:

2 pcs Pangasius Fish Fillet

lemon

2 garlic cloves

ginger, thin sliced, about 3 cm long (see picture)

scallion, thin sliced, about 3 cm long (see picture)

coriander leaves

1 tbsp of vegetable oil

1 tbsp of sesame oil

80 ml of soya sauce

40 ml of hot water

2 tbsp of sugar

Methods:

1. Clean the fish and squeeze the lemon over the fish. Steam the fish in a steamer for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, throw away the water left in the steamer. Leave it while you're preparing other ingredients.
2. Chop the garlic, and slice the ginger and scallion.
3. In a bowl, dissolve sugar with hot water and add the soya sauce to the bowl.
4. Heat a pan and add the vegetable oil and sesame oil, stir fry the garlic until fragrant. Put the garlic and the oil into the steamer, as well as the soya sauce mixture.
5. Garnish the top of the fish with the ginger and scallion and steam again all the ingredients for 15 minutes. 
6. Before serving, garnish the top of the fish with coriander leaves (or you can put the coriander leaves in the steamer, as well).

Voila! Your dish is ready within 30 minutes :) This is the result of the steamed fish. Apologize for the bad presentation, but I can assure you, it tastes as good as the one served at chinese restaurant :-p
