Steamed Grouper Fish (Cantonese style)

Fish again! Not my forte! I don't eat fish neither I know how to handle/clean a fish :p

Anyway, who is not cooking for love?? I'm doing it for my kids and to a good friend who love steamed fish so here I go again ...

My good friend was laughing and asked - how come the fish is in U-shape? My reply was - this is my first time to steam such a long fish so I do not have a plate for it, lolxxx ...


Ingredients
400g Grouper fish
10 slices of ginger
3 stalks of spring onions cut into 3cm
Salt

Sauce
3 Tbsp of light soya sauce (I use Lee Kum Kee) 
1 tsp brown sugar
1/2 Tsp sesame oil
*Mix the above together in a bowl

Garnishing
2 stalks of spring onion cut into thin strands
6 slices of ginger cut into thin strands
2 Tbsp cooking oil

Steps
1. Season the fish with some salt. Stuff some spring onion and ginger slices into the fish. Then lay some on the plates. Place fish on top of it and steam for 10-15 mins over high heat or until its cooked through.
2. When fish is done, remove the steamed fish water, the ginger and spring onions.
3. Pour the sauce around the fish.
4. Top the fish with ginger strands then spring onions.
5. Heat the 2 tbsp cooking oil and drizzle on top of the ginger/spring onion.


End result - They love it!
