Asian Steamed Whitefish

[quietcougar 29]

Ok, I may not be Asian, but I think I should have been. I really, really, really love Asian food. The other day I needed something to eat for supper, and this idea came to me. It may not be new, but it's tasty. Any ingredients that sound strange to you can be found in your local Asian grocer or most large mega marts.

Here's what you need:

1 fillet of white fish (cod, whitefish, etc. - any white meat fish) - 4 oz.

1 sandwich bag with zipper top

Marinade:

3 Tbls. Shoyu (soy sauce)

2 Tbls. mirin (sweet cooking wine)

1 Tsp. minced garlic

1 Tsp. minced fresh ginger

1 Tsp. onion powder

1 Tsp. Sriracha sauce (or other hot sauce, if preferred)

Combine all ingredients right in the sandwich bag, including the fillet. Seal the bag and shake well to distribute the mixture. Marinate 15 minutes, then turn fish over and marinate for 15 more minutes. Reserving marinade, place fish in steamer and set timer to 15 minutes.

While the fish cooks, place remaining marinade in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add Sriracha sauce and stir well. Reduce sauce to thicken, about 5-10 minutes. When fish is finished, put on plate and pour reduced marinade over fish. (If you can have rice, it will go well with that but it's good on it's own too). Enjoy!
