Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons toasted-sesame oil
2 whole black bass (1 1/2 to 2 pounds each; 1 1/2 inch thick), scaled and gutted, gills removed
1 piece (2 inches) peeled fresh ginger, cut into matchsticks
5 scallions, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
2 cups water
1 large red onion, sliced 1/2 inch thick
1 large sweet potato, very thinly sliced, preferably on a mandoline
8 ounces Broccolini, trimmed, and halved lengthwise if thick

Steps:

  • Whisk together soy sauce and sesame oil in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Cut a few slits into the fish on both sides using a sharp paring knife. Transfer to dish; turn to coat.
  • Toss ginger with scallions; stuff some into each fish cavity. Spread remaining mixture on top of fish. Let stand, covered, spooning marinade over fish often, for 30 minutes.
  • Bring water to a boil in a large skillet or wok. Arrange red onion on bottom layer of a 12-inch bamboo steamer. Remove fish from marinade with ginger-scallion mixture still on top, and arrange side by side on onion; reserve marinade. Spread sweet potato and Broccolini on separate sides of the top layer.
  • Set stacked steamer in skillet. Steam, covered, until fish is cooked through and vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring marinade to a boil in a small saucepan. Cook until reduced by half. Strain through a fine sieve. Serve fish and vegetables with reduced sauce.

WHOLE BLACK BASS WITH GINGER AND SCALLIONS



Whole Black Bass with Ginger and Scallions image

A whole fish, representing abundance, is almost always included on the celebratory Chinese table. Ours is flavored only lightly, with ginger and scallions, so as not to overpower the fresh taste of the fish.

Yield Makes 8 servings (as part of a Chinese meal)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (3-lb) whole black bass or sea bass (not Chilean), cleaned, leaving head and tail intact
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 bunch scallions, white and pale green parts cut into very thin 2-inch strips and greens reserved separately
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into very thin matchsticks
3 tablespoons light soy sauce (preferably Pearl River Bridge brand)
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
Special Equipment
a large shallow baking dish (about 15 by 10 inches) to fit inside a 17- by 12- by 2 1/2-inch roasting pan; heavy-duty foil; a well-seasoned 14-inch flat-bottomed wok

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F. Put baking dish in roasting pan.
  • Rinse fish and pat dry, then rub inside and out with salt. Transfer to baking dish and sprinkle with scallion strips (white and pale green) and ginger.
  • Stir together soy sauce and sugar until sugar is dissolved, then pour over fish. Add enough boiling-hot water to roasting pan to reach halfway up side of baking dish. Oil a large sheet of heavy-duty foil, then tent foil (oiled side down) over fish and tightly seal around roasting pan. Carefully transfer roasting pan to oven and bake until fish is just cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • While fish bakes, cut enough scallion greens diagonally into very thin slices to measure 1/2 cup (reserve remainder for another use).
  • Just before serving, remove foil from fish and sprinkle with scallion greens. Heat wok over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes instantly. Pour oil around side of wok, then tilt wok to swirl oil, coating side, and heat until smoking. Remove from heat and immediately pour oil over scallion greens and fish.

Time 37m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (1-pound) whole sea bass, scaled, gutted, and scored with a sharp knife down to the bone
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 or 3 scallions, cut diagonally into rings to yield 1/4 cup
1 tablespoon finely julienned ginger
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons peanut oil
Dash sesame oil
Pinch sugar

Steps:

  • Put the fish in a shallow heatproof dish, such as a large baking pan. Season lightly with salt and pepper, inside and out. Disperse the scallions and ginger on top, underneath, and inside the fish. Combine the soy sauce, peanut oil, sesame oil, and sugar in a bowl. Pour the mixture over the fish.
  • Set a roasting rack in a large roasting pan. Fill the pan with water that comes up below the rack. Set the pan over 2 burners and bring the water to a boil. Set the baking dish with the fish on the rack, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cover the roasting pan tightly with foil. Steam the fish until a small knife or skewer can be easily inserted into the thickest part and the fillet comes off the bone fairly easily, 6 to 7 minutes.
