My mom heat oil to a creaming hot and throws in scallions to fry them and infuse the oil. she then pours that on top of the fish. <br /><br />SO GOOD.

Now I use a 1/8 cup measure for the sake of being more "exact".

If you layer foil over the holes in your steamer or the fillet is small enough to fit on a plate inside the steamer, you can probably cook the fish at the same time you make the rice.<br /><br />Darlene,<br />Ugh! Hate the gutting and scaling part. I'd find fish scales all over Wandering Chopstickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-42515886866839315632009-09-03T18:33:28.993-07:002009-09-03T18:33:28.993-07:003 pounds of fish?

I like steamed fish this way too but have not tried it with fish sauce before. <br /><br />I can now see why the photos look so different now! I thought it was different when I saw some of the posts with more blur- but it did not look like any P&S camera blur. Still wasn't sure though, until now :). Hope you get even more photos to show us soon!EatTravelEathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04701629211273451788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-65456433968127167472009-09-03T14:07:39.734-07:002009-09-03T14:07:39.734-07:00I can not even tell you how many fish I had to cle...I can not even tell you how many fish I had to clean and sometimes gut when I worked at a restaurant. The scaling part was the worst because the scales just fly everywhere and you find them stuck to the bottom of your chin or on your face or arms. Positively not attractive.<br /><br />I like steamed fish with ginger (and lemongrass) as well.

The sweetness of the fish sauce and the spiciness of the ginger/scallion is the best combination. Great post!<br /><br />Do you think the recipe can be done with filets instead of a whole fish (like cod or bass)? I have a steamer for my little rice cooker and would love to attempt to make this sometime.Huy Hohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12800295371288126068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-53145595994449240852009-09-01T21:07:26.009-07:002009-09-01T21:07:26.009-07:00Hi WC,
