Steamed cod is a light, healthy, and delicious dish that highlights the fish’s natural flavor. Here’s a simple guide to perfect steamed cod every time.
Ingredients: 2 cod fillets (about 200g each), 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine, 1 sliced ginger, 2 sliced scallions, 1 red chili (optional), fresh cilantro.
Steps:
1. Prep the Cod: Rinse fillets and pat dry. Score lightly on both sides to help absorb flavors. Marinate in 1 tbsp soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and ginger for 10 minutes.
2. Steam: Arrange cod on a heatproof dish. Bring water to a boil in a wok or steamer. Place the dish inside, cover, and steam over high heat for 8–10 minutes (depending on thickness) until flesh is opaque and flakes easily.
3. Season: Remove cod and discard ginger. Drizzle with remaining soy sauce and sesame oil. Top with scallions, chili, and cilantro.
4. Finish: For a sizzle effect, heat 1 tbsp oil until hot and pour over the garnishes. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
Tips: Use fresh, thick cod fillets for best results. Avoid oversteaming to keep the fish tender. This method works equally well with other white fish like sea bass or halibut. Enjoy this healthy, restaurant-quality dish at home!
