Best My Steamed Sole And Vegetables Recipes

STEAMED GINGER SOLE WITH LEMON SOY SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk the soy sauce, lemon zest and juice, and the sesame oil together in a small bowl. Add the scallion whites to the sauce.
• Mix the scallion greens with the ginger in another small bowl.
• Lay the sole fillets on the work surface, skin-side up (look for the side with the herring bone pattern). Cut the fillets lengthwise along the natural seam that runs down the center of each piece. Lightly season the skin-side of the fish with salt and pepper. Then scatter the scallions and ginger on top. Starting from the narrow tail end, roll up each piece of fish into a tight spiral with the scallion on the inside. Secure with a toothpick if desired.
• Pour an inch or more of water in a wok or skillet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lay the Napa leaves in a bamboo or collapsible steamer. Stand the fish rolls on the Napa, and scatter the shiitake mushrooms and sliced carrot around. Set the steamer over the water, cover, and cook the fish until it is barely cooked through, about 6 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave the fish covered to finish cooking in the residual heat of the steamer, about 5 minutes more.
• Divide the Napa, sole, shiitakes, and carrots among 4 plates and drizzle with the sauce. Serve.

SOLE STEAMED WITH TOMATO-LEEK SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet with a lid over medium heat. Stir in the leeks and garlic, cook and stir 3 minutes until the leeks begin to soften. Pour in the white wine, and bring to a simmer, then add the tomatoes, chicken broth, thyme, and dill weed. Simmer, uncovered, until the liquid reduces to half.
• Lay the sole filets on top of the vegetables, and cover the skillet. Cook until the fish is opaque, and flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes. Ladle the sauce over the sole to serve.

STEAMED SOLE WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Thoroughly rinse the fish in cold water and pat dry. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon salt over the outside and into the cavity of the fish.
• Rinse the black beans in several changes of cold water and drain them. In a small bowl, mash beans, garlic, and sugar with the back of a wooden spoon. Stir in sesame oil, rice wine, pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
• Place fish in a 9-inch shallow heatproof bowl and spread black beans over fish on both sides and in cavity.
• Bring water to a boil over high heat in a covered steamer large enough to fit the dish without touching the sides of the steamer. Carefully place dish into steamer, cover, and steam 5 minutes. Turn off heat and let stand, covered, 4 minutes. Test fish for doneness by poling the thickest part with a fork or chopstick; flesh should flake. If not, resteam for 1 to 2 minutes or until fish just flakes. Carefully remove the dish from the steamer and pour off any liquid in the dish.
• In a small skillet, heat oil until hot but not smoking over high heat. Sprinkle ginger and scallion over fish. The oil will make a crackling sound as it hits the fish. Serve immediately.
