Steamed Fish in Black Bean Sauce
We love fish, especially white fish. Our favourite fish is the Queensland snapper. The flesh is firm and has a delicate sweet flavour. We managed to get some super fresh snapper this week at the Farmers' Market and decided to steam it with black bean. Steaming it will create a natural delicious sauce, that blends well with the clear sweet flavour of fish. Steamed Fish in Black Bean Sauce is a quick, easy and delicious dish to prepare; just make sure the fish is fresh. The sauce is delicious - sweet, salty and hot.
INGREDIENTS
300 gm fresh snapper fillet (or any white fish)
Sauce mixture (stir together)
1 tablespoon salted black bean (mashed)

Dash of white pepper
1 tablespoon water
1 thumb nail size ginger (finely shredded)
1 fresh chilli (finely sliced)
1 tablespoon cooked oil (infused with garlic & ginger)
METHOD
1. Prepare the sauce mixture. Pour sauce mixture over the fish.
2. Put into a steamer and steam for 8-10 minutes or until cooked. Halfway through the steaming, drizzle 1 tablespoon of cooked oil that has been infused with ginger & garlic.
3. Fish is cooked when it turns fully opaque. Do not overcook.It's so simple!
