Steamed Tilapia Recipe

Steamed Tilapia

Whole tilapia fish steamed with garlic, ginger and other spices to bring out its flavor. This dish is great for those who are looking for healthy food but still tasteful.

Preparation Time: 20 mins
Cooking Time: 20-30 mins
Serves 3-5

Ingredients:

2 small or 1 big tilapia
2 pcs. garlic, minced 
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, sliced thinly
3 stems leeks, sliced
2 tbsp. ginger, chopped
1 tbsp. oyster sauce
1 tsp. sesame oil (optional)
salt and pepper
foil
water (for steaming)

Procedure:

1. Prepare foil to be used to cover the fish. Make sure the fish has been cleaned and scaled. In a steamer, boil water. Rub the salt and pepper all over the fish.

2. Slice the fish at one side just enough to stuff your other ingredients. Now, start stuffing it with half of each: garlic, onion, ginger, carrots and leaks.

3. Place another half of the remaining garlic, onion, ginger and leaks on the foil. Then place the fish on top and add the rest of the stuffing.

4. Add oyster sauce and sesame oil on top of the fish before closing or sealing the foil. Steam over briskly boiling water for 20 minutes.

5. Remove the foil just before serving.


Enjoy!
