Steamed Fish Grouper (Kerapu)

Ingredients:

1 x grouper fish (about 400g)

3 inches ginger (peeled and cut into thin pieces)

1 tablespoon of rice wine

4 tablespoon of light soy sauce

salt and pepper to taste

Method:

1) Clean the fish (remove scales, gills, guts, etc). Rub the fish with some flour for a few minutes to remove the strong fish smell. Then washed the flour off from the fish with water.

2) Season the fish with salt and pepper.

3) Place the fish into a semi folded aluminium foil.

4) Pour the soy sauce and rice wine on top of the fish.

5) Top the fish with the cut ginger.

The fish is now ready to be placed onto the food steamer. Always ensure that fish/meat is placed below other type of food (e.g. vegetables). Steam it for 15-20 min.

Note:

1) I didn't preheat the water in the water container. Therefore, although fish can cook roughly between 1-15 min, I gave some 5 min time allowance with this food steamer.

2) I placed the fish on the bottom rack, followed by the prawn, and broccoli on the top rack.
